Accessing telerik generated resx file from code behind

[Michael]

I came across an issue when exporting to CSV that the headings where coming out as the name of the text box but i fixed this by adding code after the InitializeComponent() for the report e.g. this.textBox5.Name = "Description"; I want to be able to set this value as the localized value so how do i access the resx files that are generated for me? They aren't in my standard local or global localization folders so i do not know how to access them programmatically.

Hello Michael,

Accessing resx files is fairly easy as you can always create a ResourceManager that is capable of delivering the objects located in the resource file. This is how you can do it:

var ResourceManager = new System.Resources.ResourceManager("MyNamespace.MyReport", typeof(MyReport).Assembly);
var myString = ResourceManager.GetString("checkBox1.Text");

The GetString method also supports cultures, for more information please check this MSDN article.

Please note that you can rename your text boxes using the property panel in design time - you do not need to rename them at runtime. Please also have in mind that if you are trying to localize the strings in your report there are better ways - check our Localizing Reports help article.
