Modeling a String Resource 
Use
You use this procedure to model a string resource (an informative message or an error message) for a mobile client application.
A string resource is used to display the system’s response to an action performed by an application user or system in the mobile client application. It is displayed in a model window, if the application user’s response to the message is required. Otherwise, it is displayed on the status bar of the application.
Each string resource contains a string ID, and exists for a lookup ID. A lookup ID can contain more than one string ID. The combination of a string ID and lookup ID helps you search for the string resource easily.
Procedure
...
1. In Solution Explorer, click the String Resources(Lookup IDs) node with the secondary mouse button.
The Add Object window appears.
2. In the Name field, replace the default name of the lookup ID with a meaningful name.
