The type of namespace name 'Resources' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Question

Hi , I am new in MVC, this is simple question, please help.

I am followiing this  instruction to create that mvc project.

http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization-part-2.aspx

But on step of: Validation Rules Internationalization, I got this error on this subject.

as Resources is a seperate project file, so in AccoutModels.cs, I have added Resources in my name space as this

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

using System.Globalization;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using System.Web.Security;

using Resources;

....

[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "YouMustSpecifyUsername", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources))]

        [Display(Name = "ModelUsername", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources))]

public string UserName { get; set; }

.....

As I use Resources.Resources in my code, and I declare the wrong namespace, anybody know how to define the name space in this case?

in my Solution, the project structure is as this:

Solution 'NerdDinner' (2 projects)

NerdDinner this is project file

.

.

Models

   AccountModels.cs

Resources - this is project file

  Resources.resx

  Resources.fr.resx

Hi,

You have local resources and other project local resource. For other local resource, you need to "Add Refference" to your project. and all resources file must set "Access Modifier:" to "Public", You can open Resource FIle, and at the Open Menu above the open resource you can find menu, one of the menu is "Access Modifier:".

In Web.config at the root folder, you need to add the following code (BOLD):

  <system.web>
    <globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" />

Namespace "Resource" is just a name, it can be any name.

Hope can help
