{
private readonly string _descriptionResourceName;
private string _descriptionValue;
public TestLocalizedExportCodeAnalysisRuleAttribute(string id, string displayName, string descriptionResourceName)
: base(id, displayName)
{
_descriptionResourceName = descriptionResourceName;
}
public override string Description

// Using the descriptionResourceName as the key for looking up the description in the resources file.
// MyResources is a resource file in the same project as the LocalizedExportCodeAnalysisRuleAttribute class.
// For each rule, and entry should be added to the resources file with the descriptionResourceName as the
// key and the description as the value
_descriptionValue = MyResources.ResourceManager.GetString(_descriptionResourceName);
