How to embed resource in ASP.Net 2.0 web application?

[Tomasz J]

Hello Developers,

It may sound like a stupid question, but how to embed a resource in ASP.Net
2.0 web application?
I mean, without using a separate library. There is no "build action"
property.

Thanks,

Tomasz J

By embed I mean: make a part of the executing assembly dll file.
Trust me Mark, it only appears to be an easy to answer question.
Of course, unless you know the answer, other that the above one - which I
doubt.

Nope, it is not the answer. There are plenty of examples showing how to
embed resource in some control library and then use from Web Application,
but it is not the same thing.

Why do I want to embed resource in Web Application? I need it for my user
control and user controls (.ascx), as opposed to web controls, must be part
of the application. I can, of course create a separate dll for this
resource, but it is nonsense.

Hmm - OK...

Have you considered ILMerge instead...?

Yes, there are also other solutions, like Apache Wicket, but I am still
hoping to find an easier way.
Another solution is to move back to "Web Project".

Hi Tomasz,

For the ASP.NET 2.0 application, do you mean the default "Web Site" project
model?

For ASP.NET 2.0 web site application, it by default do not precompile and
generate dll at development time(without precompilation) comparing to the
ASP.NET 1.X/VS 2003 web project. However, for localization resource, it
provide much enhanced interfaces to manipulate them at design-time. You can
add resources (as resx files) as either "GlobalResource" or
"LocalResource", global resource can be put into the "App_GlobalResources"
folder of your ASP.NET 2.0 project while local resource can be put into a
"App_LocalResources" folder (can be created for each sub folder). The VS
2005 resource designer can let you add different kinds of resource items
into it(such as string, image ,file ,......)
