UltimateResourceFallbackLocation Enumeration

Specifies whether a ResourceManager object looks for the resources of the app's default culture in the main assembly or in a satellite assembly.

Namespace:  System.Resources
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public enum UltimateResourceFallbackLocation
Member nameDescription
MainAssemblyFallback resources are located in the main assembly.
SatelliteFallback resources are located in a satellite assembly.

The UltimateResourceFallbackLocation enumeration is used with the NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute.NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute(String, UltimateResourceFallbackLocation) constructor to specify whether a ResourceManager object retrieves the resources of the app's default culture from the main app assembly (the default), or from a satellite assembly. In a localized application, the resources of the default culture are used if no culture-specific resources are found after using the resource fallback process. For more information, see the "Resource Fallback Process" section in Packaging and Deploying Resources in Desktop Apps.

If you specify a value of MainAssembly or no value to the NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute attribute and resource manager cannot load a resource set that belongs to the default culture, it throws a MissingManifestResourceException exception. If you specify a value of Satellite to the NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute and resource manager cannot load a resource set that belongs to the default culture, it throws a MissingSatelliteAssemblyException exception.
