I am trying here to do a manual translation for the application I am working with. (There is already a working LocalizationModule but it's working dodgy, so I can't use <asp:Localize /> tags.

Normally with ResourceManager you are supposed to be using it as Namespace.Folder.Resourcename (in an application). Currently I am translating an existing asp.net "website" (not web application so no namespace here....).

The resources are located into a folder name "Locales/resources" which contains "fr-ca.resx" and "en-us.resx".

So I used a code with something like this :

public static string T(string search)
 {
  System.Resources.ResourceManager resMan = new System.Resources.ResourceManager( "Locales", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), null );

  var text = resMan.GetString(search, System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);

  if (text == null)
   return "null";
  else if (text == string.Empty)
   return "empty";
  else
   return text;
 }

and inside the page I have something like this <%= Locale.T("T_HOME") %>

When I refresh I have this :

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Locales.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_Code.9yopn1f7" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.

I even tried to load the resource with Locales.fr-ca or only fr-ca nothing quite work here.
