does extraction of literals into resource help obfuscation?

I have a .NET user control in C# and it has lots of exception messages(literals). If I extract these literals into a resource file and let these message stay the same. does this extraction help me to obfuscate my application?

Here is a small demo to explain what I said:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TestResource
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int text1 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);
            int text2 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);
            int result = text1+text2;

            if (result <= 100)
                MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
            else
            {
                throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("exceeds the maximum upper bound 100");
            }

        }
    }
}

now I extract this literal "exceeds the maximum upper bound 100" into a resource file and the following code as this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TestResource
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int text1 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);
            int text2 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);
            int result = text1+text2;

            if (result <= 100)
                MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
            else
            {
                throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(Resource.English.Exceeds100Message);
            }

        }
    }
}

After I compiled this into an executable then run obfuscator software .
because this button click method is private, it will be obfuscated.
Does this "Resource.English.Exceeds100Message" variable help obfuscation?
