Global Resources translation doesn't work

I am trying to implemented App_GlobalResources for my application to support multi-language.

I've created an AppGlobalResources folder, inside two files:

AppGlobalResources

WebResources.resx
WebResources.de.resx


In each one, I put a TestString name which equals to 'test' in the default one and 'German' in the de one.

TestString

de

In the Page_Load I put the following:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de");


When I call:

txtTest.Text = WebResources.TestString;


I get the default text 'test' and not 'German' as it supposes to.

The file properties for both resx files are:

Build Action: Embedded Resource
Custom Tool: PublicResXFileCodeGenerator


Update:

I checked the WebResources.de.designer.cs and it's empty, unlike the WebResources.Deisgner.cs which has code generated for it.

The problem was that the second resx file didn't have the right build action and custom tool set. Once I changed it, it works.
