I´m having a strange problem with resources files. Strange because it was working great. Well, I have some resources files. I created a Resources folder on my asp.net mvc 3 project structure and I am mirroring the views's folder structure. For now I have:
Views
Shared
_Layout.cshtml
Resources
Shared
Layout.pt-BR.resx
Layout.en-US.resx
Layout.ko-KR.resx
All resources files are configured as Embedded Resource, PublicResXFileCodeGenerator and with Custom Tool Namespace "ViewRes". All ".Designer.cs" files are empty. I remember to see some code in them when it was working.
On my .csproj file I have these data:
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Shared\Layout.en-US.resx">
<SubType>Designer</SubType>
<Generator>PublicResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<LastGenOutput>Layout.en-US.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
<CustomToolNamespace>ViewRes</CustomToolNamespace>
</EmbeddedResource>
<EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Shared\Layout.ko-KR.resx">
<SubType>Designer</SubType>
<Generator>PublicResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<CustomToolNamespace>ViewRes</CustomToolNamespace>
<LastGenOutput>Layout.ko-KR.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
</EmbeddedResource>
<EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Shared\Layout.pt-BR.resx">
<SubType>Designer</SubType>
<Generator>PublicResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<LastGenOutput>Layout.pt-BR.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
<CustomToolNamespace>ViewRes</CustomToolNamespace>
</EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
The problem is: When I try to access the @ViewRes on my views, It is not recognized. I tried already to remove the custom tool namespace but the @Resource is not recognized too. In both situations I got this compilation error:
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'ViewRes' does not exist in the current context
Does anybody have any idea? Thanks, Paulo
EDIT: NEW INFORMATIONS
I created a global Resources.resx file by project's properties menu in VS2010 and it's working with the custom tool namespaces I have entered. "Resources" namespace still not working. I think the problem is with the local resources files. Unfortunatly I need them because I can't rename the global resources.resx file including the culture code.
EDIT 2 I created new .resx file on Resource folder and what I can see is that the filename can not have 2 ".". Is the name is Resources.resx, it works. If the name is Resource-en-US.resx, it works but, If the name is Resources.en-US.resx it fails!
