Cannot move to resx file

[lloydchriswilson]

I am a new user. I ultimately want to add globalization to an existing large solution.

For testing, I created a new VB.Net winforms project and form with a button. I labelled the button, went to designer code, right-clicked on button text, selected Move to Resource. Got the dialog box, but the first item (Resource) is empty with no drop-down items. Clicking OK gives no error or warning, but the resx file is not changed.

I confirmed that the default Form1.resx file exists, and can manually add items using ResX Resource Manager, and even do translations.

Using VS2022 Community. TIA

Nevermind. I just realized that this tool works with the global resource file, not resx files associated with each form.

To make it work, I just added as resource file to the project. Then the drop-down is populated.
