ResourceManager Constructor (String, Assembly, Type)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Initializes a new instance of the ResourceManager class that looks up resources contained in files derived from the specified root name using the given Assembly.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
'Declaration Public Sub New ( _ baseName As String, _ assembly As Assembly, _ usingResourceSet As Type _ )
Parameters
- baseName
- Type: System.String
The root name of the resource file without its extension and along with any fully qualified namespace name. For example, the root name for the resource file named "MyApplication.MyResource.en-US.resources" is "MyApplication.MyResource".
- assembly
- Type: System.Reflection.Assembly
The main assembly for the resources.
- usingResourceSet
- Type: System.Type
The type of the custom ResourceSet to use. If Nothing, the default runtime ResourceSet object is used.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | usingResourceset is not a derived class of ResourceSet. |
| ArgumentNullException | The baseName or assembly parameter is Nothing. |
The individual resource files should be contained in satellite assemblies with the invariant culture's .resources file contained in the main assembly. A satellite assembly is assumed to contain resources for a single culture specified in that assembly's manifest, and are loaded as necessary.
If the resource file identified by baseName cannot be found in assembly, the method instantiates a ResourceManager object, but the attempt to retrieve a specific resource throws an exception, typically a MissingManifestResourceException.
You can specify a ResourceSet implementation to be used. If you do not need a specific ResourceSet implementation but would like to use a custom resource file format, you should derive from the ResourceSet class, override the GetDefaultReader method, and pass that type to this constructor.
Note: |
|---|
The usingResourceSet parameter is used to support your own resource format, and will commonly be Nothing. This is different from the constructor that takes a Type only. |
Version Notes
Windows Phone
ResourceManager(String, Assembly, Type) throws NotSupportedException when the usingResourceSet parameter is null.
