[Mono-winforms-list] Important ResourceManager notes

[Kornél Pál]

> Mono build assemblies won't be usable localized on ms.net.

I did not understand what do exaclty you mean.

Do you mean that (1) .NET Framework language packs cannot be used with Mono
or that (2) my own appplication's satellite assemblies built using .NET
Framework cannot be used with Mono?

In case (1) it's normal but note that ResourceManager is public class and
intended to be used by any application that uses the class library and has
to provide consistent behaviour as well as on .NET Framework as on Mono.

I don't think case (2) is true but if so it is a bug of Mono.
