dynamically add values to resources (C#)

Question

I want to add values to the resources dynamically through codings(C#). My below coding runs without any error but the values are not getting added to the resource file.

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using (ResXResourceWriter resx = new ResXResourceWriter("Resources.resx"))
    {
        resx.AddResource( "joth", "joth");
        resx.Close();
    }
}

I have edited your title. Please see, "Should questions include “tags” in their titles?", where the consensus is "no, they should not". — John Saunders

add save changes because you are added successfully but not saved ,so before close save the changes. — Black Cloud

I got the following error if i use resx.save(); (Error 1 'System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter' does not contain a definition for 'Save' and no extension method 'Save' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I tried the above it doesn't seem to work, I looked around and try editing the resx file like a xml file and it worked for me.

<data name="v13" xml:space="preserve">
   <value>Test TEst</value>
</data>

Above is the structure of a single key/value pair in the resx file opened in nodepadd ++

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath(@"~\App_GlobalResources\myResource2.resx"));

XElement data = new XElement("data");

XNamespace ns = "xml";
data.Add(new XAttribute("name", "v13"));
data.Add(new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xml + "space", "preserve"));

data.Add(new XElement("value", "Test TEst"));

doc.Element("root").Add(data);
doc.Save(Server.MapPath(@"~\App_GlobalResources\myResource2.resx"));
