Is there an example of a custom ResourceProvider for storing RESX files in an external assembly?

We have so, so many RESX files in our ASP.NET 3.5 web application (for localisation purposes) and it's making code changes very slow; every time it runs for the first time all the symbols are built for the re-compiled RESX files.

Ideally I'd like to store these files in an external assembly and create a ResourceProvider that acts as a bridge.

That way the RESX files won't be affected by each subsequent compilation of the web app.

I also don't want to reinvent the wheel; someone must have done this before - but I can't find anything on it!

  • Actually it looks like reading through this article is going to be a good bet:

    But I'll still hold out in case someone has an example!!
