How to use image resource in asp.net website?

I have a c# site which makes use of a lot of images with embedded english text.

How can I use a standard resource file to swap out images depending on the language?

I have a resx file in my App_GlobalResources directory, but I can't seem to get it plugged into an asp:image control for the imageurl correctly.

Ideas?

UPDATE:

For some further information, here is the image tag code:

<asp:image runat="server" ID="img2" ImageUrl="<%$Resources: Resource, cs_logo %>" />

The result on the client side is:

<img id="img2" src="System.Drawing.Bitmap" style="border-width:0px;" />

Note that the source is obviously not what I expected...

Solution

  • you can store the url of the image in your resource file and use the following inline code in the control 

    <asp:Image ImageUrl="<%$resources:Image1 %>" />

    or

    you can also try to stored the resource as string and set the value to the url location instead of storing the image in the resouce file.
