Specify Culture Name for Resource File in Asp.NET MVC

Question

when i try to create a resource file named Labels.resx it works fine and a Labels.designer.cs being created well, but when i try to create another resource file for a specific locale like Labels.en-US.resx the resource file gets corrupted and the designer will be empty!

[Edit from comments]: The resource generator specified for the .resx file is GlobalResourceProxyGenerator

whats wrong with it? am I doing anything wrong?

Can you check in properties of the resx file what tool is specified there? I think you can also `Run custom tool` and see if any error shows in output (most probable cause of `designer.cs` file remaining empty) — Alexei - check Codidact, Feb 12 '17 at 08:25
@Hooman - is there a particular reason to use `GlobalResourceProxyGenerator`? I have always generated resource files using `PublicResXFileCodeGenerator` and had no problems. — Alexei - check Codidact, Feb 12 '17 at 12:16
yes, the problem was because of that! thank you for the guide @Alexei — Hooman Limouee, Feb 12 '17 at 12:33
@Hooman - I have added used resource generator in the question to make it useful for future viewers. You can accept this edit (and enhance it). — Alexei - check Codidact, Feb 12 '17 at 12:39

Based on comments, the solution is to use another resource generator:

PublicResXFileCodeGenerator

instead of

GlobalResourceProxyGenerator
