Problem with globalizing web application

[Krzysztof Swiezynski]

Hello,
I've made a simple web application which display a welcome string based
on the choosen language selected (values: "pl" or "en") from a
DropDownList. My code is:

protected ResourceManager gStrings;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
gStrings = new ResourceManager("ResTest.ResTest",
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(),null); }

private void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e) {
string lang = DropDownList1.SelectedValue; // pl or en
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(lang);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
welcomeLabel.Text = gStrings.GetString("Welcome");
}
}

all code is in the ResTest namespace.

In a root directory a I've three resx files:
ResTest.resx
ResTest.en.resx
ResTest.pl.resx

each file contains "Welcome" key with a specific value.

after building in my application bin directory "pl" and "en" directories
are created.
When I run my application locally there is no problem with it. "Welcome"
strings are displayed correctly based on the language choosen from the
dropdownlist.
But when I deploy my application on the product server, after choosing
the language from the dropdownlist I receive the following error:

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or
the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure
"ResTest.ResTest.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into
assembly "ResTest". baseName: ResTest.ResTest locationInfo: <null>
resource file name: ResTest.ResTest.resources assembly: ResTest,
Version=1.0.1934.19000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=861099a70d6190ca

I've read more articles about it and I consider that my code looks fine.
I don't know how to resolve my problem . I try to strong sign the
assembly but the effect is the same. Colud You help me ?. I think that
this is a server problem because my app works fine on my local machine
but I don't know what to do.

Thank You in advance.

Regards

Are you sure all satellite assemblies have been properly deployed?

Is the root namespace of your project ResTest?

resx files are a pain to deal with, check out the following links for an
alternative...

I think so. I've deployed my application using copy project in Visual
Studio and then I try to manually copy tha application.

Is the root namespace of your project ResTest?

I'm sure.

Thank You for it. Maybe I'll choose this alternative methods in the
future application. But at this time I must resole my globalization
problem using the scenario I've described in my open-thread.

Regards.

Download reflector from http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ (free) and look
at the assembly...it'll tell you what resources are in there along with
their names...
