asp.net: edit resource file which is compiled into a dll

my asp.net site uses resource files for a referenced project with the user controls in it.

so i have one website project, and one dll project with usercontrols + the resource files.

The website references the dll project.

So far so good.

When i publish, the dll with the usercontrols gets compiled in a dll (what else) but the resource files also get compiled (a separate dll for every language)

Is there a way to edit the resource strings in the dll once deployed?

Solution

  • Pretty much the whole point is the resource files are fixed and in the dll. If you want to be able to edit them after deployment then simply deploy your scripts/css or whatever as text files.
