After recognizing that my project already exists under the used solutionname i decided to rename the whole solution. I need to do that because I want to share the source code on my homepage as well as the application itself and don't want it to look to users like a copy of some other project that already exist.
I changed all namespaces in every file as well as the assemblyname, the root namespace and the resourcemanager instance call from "OldName" to "NewName" like so:
resManager = new ResourceManager("NewName.Resources.Manifest", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
After doing that, I recompiled which worked without any errors. Unfortunately I get a runtime error with a System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException when calling the first resManager.GetString(); method. So the application is not able to see the resources anymore. But why?
Folder structure and all the other source files did not changed. I restored my backup and figured out, that it is not possible to simply change the root namespace as well as the resourcemanager. There must be something I just do not know.
Any help would be great :-)
Here is what I'm doing:
namespace NewName
{
//...
ResourceManager resManager;
CultureInfo cultureInfo;
Settings settingsFromFile = new Settings();
settingsFromFile.readSettings();
if (settingsFromFile.Language == "german")
cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("de");
else
cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en");
resManager = new ResourceManager("NewName.Resources.Manifest", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
//...
contextMenuStripDoFencyStuff.MenuItems.Add(resManager.GetString("contextMenuStripDoFencyStuffText",cultureInfo)); <-- this is where the exception occurs
}
The name of the resx file is "Manifest.de.resx" and "Manifest.en.resx". These files are in "ProjectFolder/Resources/".
