Create string resource item in your resx. The resx note in Visual Studio has a sub-node with auto-generated code. Open this file. You will find a static class member with the name identical or close to the name of your string resource. Use it immediately:

C#

System.Windows.Controls.Label myLabel = //... usually generated in your *.xaml.cs file; or create it by yourself in code

//...

myLabel.Text = Resource.MyResource.MyLabel; // find exact name from the file I mentioned above

The alternative is using XAML resources instead of resx. Unfortunately, it won't give you auto-generated code file, but then you would be able to use the resources in your XAML of your windows, pages or user controls. Please see:
