title: Cannot use Resource.resx file in asp.net MVC 5
body: <p>I want my web application to not have strings hardcoded but in a resx file. And maybe later make it multilangual.</p>
  
  <p>I've walked through every tutorial but none is working for me.</p>
  
  <p>I created a <code>Resources</code> folder (also tried <code>App_GlobalResources</code>) and created a <code>Resources.resx</code> file.</p>
  
  <p>I had to do this by creating a text file and renaming it because my <code>Add &gt; New Item</code> menu did not have the <code>Assembly Resource File</code> template.</p>
  
  <p>I changed the file's properties to this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pflc0.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pflc0.png" alt="Resources Properties"></a></p>
  
  <p>And yet I cannot access it in my controllers with</p>
  
  <pre><code>using Resources;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>using NAMESPACE.Resources;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or in my razor files with those two.</p>
  
  <p>How do I achieve this?</p>
