hello, i wish to know which method is efficient ::
1) using strings directly to update status in my wpf application
ex : statusBarText.Text = " updating..."; or
2) saving the strings in resource list and then using
ex : statusBarText.Text = properties.resources.UPDATE; where UPDATE ="any string"

or there is no relation with efficiency but convenience?
thank you

Well, reading in a string from a literal will clearly be quicker than reading it in from a resource.

However, there are good reasons why you might nevertheless want to store strings in resources. For example if your're localizing an application and you want to issue messages in different languages.
