the common repository items i created are in the table together with the project-specific localization entries.

however, when i try to access the common repository items through my application using 

UI.Localization.RetrieveTextValue("MYKEY"), it fails / doesnt find the key.

the data-table on the server looks like this:

msg_pk   msg_prj_pk   msg_type   msg_key   msg_language ...

47 ........4..................2.............KEY1........1031

48 ........4..................2.............KEY1........1033

71 ........3..................2.............MYKEY......1031

72 ........3..................2.............MYKEY......1033

i see that the msg_prj key is different between the application-specific and the cmr items. tho i deployed the common repository through the ddt.

is there some special "trick" to get the common repository items through RetrieveTextValue() ?

then check the Include Common Repository option:

just noticed i had old code in place that specified the localization messagekeytype as xml instead of sqlserver.

works now
