Centralized resource files

Centralized resource files

Hi,

We are considering to migrate our custom asp.net localization procedure, to
one that stored .Text properties of controls in a SQL database, towards the
usage of standard resources (hence .resx files). Plain Resx files do not seem
to be a very scalable solution: We have dozens of servers and we do not want
to access all servers to deploy files in case of minor changes in the
personalized text. So we need some sort of centralized resource server.

Is possible to store .resx centrally and/or what is the recommended MS
procedure in this situation?

Regards,
Martijn Kaag

Hello Martijn,

Glad to see you again.

As for the resource based localization feature in .net framework, it
support programmatic resource management or declarative management.
Therefore, for your scenario, whether we can play with centralized
localization resource also depend on how to peform the localization task in
our application.

** If your application will programmtically load resx file or resource
file(binary format), you can consider put those resource files in a central
place(shared place) and programmtically access that directory for resource
files in your application code(you can configure this central directory
path as a entry in the application's web.config file)

ResourceManager .CreateFileBase dResourceManage r method will help create
resouce manager from a specify file location.

eatefilebasedre sourcemanager.a spx

** If your application is using the declarative resoure management(such as
the new Localized page feature in ASP.NET 2.0 and specify localization
property in aspx template ....), I'm afraid we have to put the resoruce
files(resx or resource or satellite assembly) in the application's private
bin dir (or GAC if strong-named).

BTW, generally, for an application, you will use resx file to store
application resources and compile it into satellite assemblies. Therefore,
when the the resource should be updated, we just recompile them to generate
the new satellite assembly and redepoy the satellite assemblies.

This may seem a little strange, but in all my years of developing Windows Forms apps, I've never really used Resource files; however, I would like to start doing so in order to store icons, pictures, and most importantly, error message strings in resource files so I don't have to go searching for them inside the code (if I want them changed).
