ASP.NET App_LocalResources Scope

[Garee]

Hi,

There are two types of resources in an ASP.NET application - global resources and local resources. Local resources are held resx files in an App_LocalResources sub-folder, and are named according to the following convention:

MyAspFileName.aspx.resx

As a web application can obviously have a hierarchical folder structure, this means there can be multiple .resx files with the same name, e.g.

Root Folder

Folder 1

App_LocalResources

Default.aspx.resx

Default.aspx

Folder 2

App_LocalResources

Default.aspx.resx

Default.aspx

From what I can see, there isn't a way to handle this in ResourceBlender Express? If you imported the files from Folder 1 and Folder 2 I think they are combined into the same bundle, i.e. Default.aspx.

So this feature request is to have some sort of additional scope added to bundles. Ideally this would be hierarchical, and when exporting the generated .resx files would be saved out to a hierarchical folder structure.

Best regards,

Gary

That's a great idea. I'd love to say I'll get right on it, but contributions to the source have been few and far between so far (apart from Haze). It's something I'd certainly like to see added though.

Thanks for the suggestion.
