Hi Brett,
As for the ASP.NET 2.0 localization and resource handling, it hasn't change
much from the original one. For the resource file, e.g .resx or .txt file,
their file name should not contain any cultureInfo name(such as "en",
"fr-Fr", this is used for the runtime to idenitity them as the same
resource for a specific language/culture.
For example, if we have the following resource files:
MyResources.str ings.resx
MyResources.str ings.en.resx
MyResources.str ings.fr.resx
They're actually a single resource item, just of different
culture/language. At runtime in the code, we just use the following
statement to retrieve value from the above resource file:
Response.Write( Resources.MyRes ources.strings. XXXXX)
(no prefix like "en" or "fr" or....)
and which file to use depend on the current thread's UICulture.
For example, if we add the following code to manually set the thread's
CurrentUICultur e:
============
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture = new
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("fr-FR");
Response.Write( Resources.MyRes ources.strings. XXXXX)
============
the above code will read the resource string from the
MyResource.stri ngs.fr.resx file.
You can also get some further description in the MSDN document on ASP.NET
global/localization:

Hope all these help you.
