Sometimes you need to retrieve values from a resource file that is centrally located to your module. This is commonly known as a shared resource.
I think for version 3.0.13, there is a bug in the core that does not allow you to extract values out of a shared resource file using Localization.SharedResourceFile, this is actually a constant so it will never point to the correct file.
I use the following method within my modules to extract values from a shared resource file. It will map a map path to the required resource file in your local resource directory.
PrivateSub AssignLocalization()Dim path AsString = Me.TemplateSourceDirectory & "/" & Localization.LocalResourceDirectory & "/" & Localization.LocalSharedResourceFilepath = "~" & path.Substring(path.IndexOf("/DesktopModules/"), path.Length - path.IndexOf("/DesktopModules/"))
lnkCurrentNews.Text = Localization.GetString("CurrentArticles.Text", path)
EndSub
Have you found a better way?
