ASP.NET Read Resources values

Question

I have two .resx files: en.resx and he.resx, in the folder App_LocalResources. I already have two buttons in my web page, clicking each one is supposed to "switch" to the other language's resource file.

I want to simply get a string value located in one of the .resx files.

I tried some of the examples I have found on google, and I asked myself, why do I need to provide an Assembly type and a namespace, when i just want to ask for a string value in my own project?

Why isn't there something like: string val = Resources["en.resx"]["SomeProperty"].Value?

Maybe my whole approach is wrong, and I would like to read your opinions.

Thanks, Guy

using System.Resources;

ResXResourceSet Resource = new ResXResourceSet(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(@"~/Properties/Resource.resx")
String value=Resource.GetStrin("key");
