Using resx resources in .NET Core 1.0

Question

I am attempting to use a resource(.resx) file in an ASP.NET Core project. I had it working in rc1 using a namedResource, but can't seem to get it working in RTM. Here is what my project.json looks like:

"buildOptions": {
  "embed": {
    "include": [ "Resources/resource.resx" ]
  }
}

And I'm accessing it like this:

Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("Field1");

It seems the resources are not getting embedded as There is nothing there when I debug.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

For string in resource use: Remove embed.

var x = ResourceFoo.Field1;

For file in resource use: Include embed for file (ex.: /Folder1/**/*) Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("Folder1.Folder2.file.ext");
