move MenuStrip item text into resource file

Question

I am using .NET WinForms (C#) I have a form with a menustrip control in it, I added menu items in the designer and assigned test to them, now I want to move this text into a resource file. how do I do that ?

Answer 1

You can use Resourcemanager to set the string of the MenuItem.

So you can have something like:

MenuItem topLevel = mainMenu.MenuItems.Add("&XXX");
MenuItem first = new MenuItem();
first.Text = [Text from ResourceManager]
topLevel.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&New"));

Answer 2

1. Project > Add New Item > Resourece File
2. Add string in resource...
3. Open your FormDesigner.cs, find and replace Text to this.stripItem.Text = global::your_app_namespace.resource_name.resource_value;
