ResourceManager.GetObject Method (String)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Returns the value of the specified Object resource.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- name
- Type: System.String
The name of the resource to get.
Return Value
Type: System.ObjectThe value of the resource localized for the caller's current culture settings. If a match is not possible, Nothing is returned. The resource value can be Nothing.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The name parameter is Nothing. |
| MissingManifestResourceException | No usable set of resources has been found, and there are no neutral culture resources. |
| NotSupportedException | The resource depends on serialization. |
The returned resource is localized for the culture determined by the current cultural settings of the current Thread (this is accomplished using the culture's CurrentUICulture property). If the resource has not been localized for that culture, the resource that is returned is localized for a best match (this is accomplished using the Parent property). Otherwise, Nothing is returned.
If no usable set of resources has been found, the ResourceManager falls back on the neutral culture's resources, which are expected to be included in the main assembly. If an appropriate culture resource has not been found, a MissingManifestResourceException is thrown.

The GetObject method is thread-safe. |
Caution: |
|---|
This method can throw more exceptions than are listed. One reason this might occur is if a method that this method calls throws an exception. For example, a FileLoadException might be thrown if an error was made deploying or installing a satellite assembly. |
Performance Considerations
If you call the GetObject method multiple times with the same name parameter, do not depend on the return value being a reference to the same object. This is because the GetObject method can return a reference to an existing resource object in a cache, or can reload the resource and return a reference to a new resource object.
