It is important to inform the ``ResourceManager`` of the language used to display the resources of the neutral culture for an assembly. This improves lookup performance for the first resource loaded. 

This rule raises an issue when an assembly contains a ``ResX``-based resource but does not have the ``System.Resources.NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute`` applied to it.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
using System;

public class MyClass // Noncompliant
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string[] cultures = { "de-DE", "en-us", "fr-FR" };
      Random rnd = new Random();
      int index = rnd.Next(0, cultures.Length);
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cultures[index]);      

      ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("MyResources" , 
                                               typeof(MyClass).Assembly);
      string greeting = rm.GetString("Greeting");

      Console.Write("Enter your name: ");
      string name = Console.ReadLine();
      Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}!", greeting, name);
   }
}

== Compliant Solution

----
using System;

[assembly:NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en")]
public class MyClass
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string[] cultures = { "de-DE", "en-us", "fr-FR" };
      Random rnd = new Random();
      int index = rnd.Next(0, cultures.Length);
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cultures[index]);      

      ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("MyResources" , 
                                               typeof(MyClass).Assembly);
      string greeting = rm.GetString("Greeting");

      Console.Write("Enter your name: ");
      string name = Console.ReadLine();
      Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}!", greeting, name);
   }
}
