title: Windows store app ResourceLoader at design time
body: <p>I've started creating a Windows Store App for Windows 8.1 and now I encountered a problem concerning localization.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to display a string resource from a .resw file at design time, but every attempt to do so has failed, even though it works at runtime.</p>
  
  <p>When using the x:Uid attribute, I still have to supply the Text property (i.e. for a TextBlock) and I don't like to write the text twice.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried creating a property for the string on the viewmodel:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public string Title
  {
      get { return ResourceLoader.GetForCurrentView("Strings").GetString("MainView_Title"); }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is working at runtime, but at design time it is blank.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is, is there a way to display resources from a .resw file in the XAML-designer?</p>
  
  <p>More specifically, does the ResourceManager class allow .resw files to be read at design time?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help,
  Lucas</p>
