(1) Do you mean that when you compile it on MS.NET localized resources won't
be added to the main assembly?

(2) Or just that localized resources cannot be loaded with ResourceManager
from the main assembly on MS.NET runtime?

If you mean case (2) I already have answered the question:

>>It reads neutral resources only from the main assembly and reads localized
>>resources only from the appropriate satellite assembly.

If you mean case (1) please let me know because it would be a very strange
difference.

As I can remember this behaviour is documented somewhere in .NET Framework
SDK but not in the reference of ResourceManager.
