string localization

[Lectere]

LS,

I've successfully made my GUI totally localizable. If you select an other language, all the controls totally adapt. That goes file.

I only need to know where I can store my messagebox string etc.

msgbox(CType(resources.GetObject("Str1"), System.String))

I've tried;
-In the solution explorer, display all files, then in the form1.fr.resx for example, add the strings you need. But since these resx files are automaticly created, all manual additions, disappear.

-With my resources, add a file from template; 'string.resx' But it's not picking up the changes.

Thanks in advance!

I used an INI file for my app, all strings are pulled from the INI. I'm sure there are more efficient ways, though.

I read the INI value into a variable, then call the message box with that variable as the message.
