How to access My.Resources from a razor view

Question

I have a razor .vbhtml view and would like to use string resources normally accessible via My.Resources. Seems like I can only get to My.Computer, My.Log and couple other namespaces from the view, but not My.Resources. I've tried changing access modifier to public and adding @Imports, neither worked.

Thanks

Add a Messages.resx file to your project. In the properties of this file in the solution explorer set Custom Tool = PublicResXFileCodeGenerator. Now inside the view you can directly access resources:

@Imports AppName.My.Resources

<div>@Messages.Foo</div>

And here's a screenshot containing all you need:
