Globalizing my resources (resx files)

[scaldwe]

I am looking for a way to globalize the resx files for localization purposes. Like adding a reference to the Data Access Application Block ... Not in the App_Globalresources folder in my project.

Right now, I have several apps that have three language resx files. English, Spanish, Italian. I have has been successful just copying each of the lang files into the new project. I would rather have a central resx file that I reference or include somehow into each project versus copy. Maybe something that could be setup in the GAC if I am thinking correctly ....

Any Ideas

Not sure if it can be done directly within visual studio but with the command line tools (resgen.exe, al.exe and sn.exe) you should be able to compile the resx files into resource only assemblies and then install them into the GAC.

Thanks for the reply ... its hard to get a reply on stuff like this?

Do you know of any good articles on the GAC ...
