So, does anyone know how the MFC string-table technique map to
C#/WinForm?

...after some web search, it seems that C# has a ResourceManager class for
that purpose.

You can also use assembly resources "embedded" in your C# app. Add a
resource (resx) file to your project, set it's namespace property if
desired.
Open it and add string resources (or other types).

Then in your code you can use a simpler way to access the strings than the
ResourceManager:

//example
string str = MyResourcesNamespace.Resource1.String1;

where MyResourcesNamespace is the namespace I specified, Resource1 is the
resx file I added, and String1 is the name of a string resource I added.

So simple even a C++ guy can do it :)
