c# - Windows Phone 8 region-neutral resource file from external assembly -

i have windows phone 8 app project , portable library project resources used in phone app. it's developed in visual studio 2013 ultimate.

i try use region-neutral resource files (e.g. appresources.en.resx instead of appresources.en-gb.resx).

if place region-neutral resource files in phone app project works fine.

if place resource files in portable library project default resource file used application.

if use region-specific naming (appresources.en-gb.resx) resources files in portable library project ok too.

class access resources:

public class localizedstrings {     private static appresources _localizedresources = new appresources();      public appresources localizedresources { { return _localizedresources; } } } 

reference class in app.xaml:

<application.resources>     <res:localizedstrings xmlns:res="clr-namespace:project.phone.app;assembly=project.phone.app" x:key="localizedstrings"/> </application.resources> 

example above resources located in phone app project. "project.phone.app" changed "project.library.localizedresources" in case when resources located in portable library project.

usage:

<textblock text="{binding path=localizedresources.applicationtitle, source={staticresource localizedstrings}}" style="{staticresource phonetextnormalstyle}"/>
