Call the GetLocalResourceObject or GetGlobalResourceObject method to read specific resources from a global or local resource file

The GetGlobalResourceObject method takes the name of a resource class and the resource ID. The class name is based on the .resx file name. For example, the file WebResources.resx, and all associated localized files, are referenced by the class name WebResources.

The GetLocalResourceObject method takes a resource name representing a ResourceKey property.

Button1.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("Button1.Text").ToString();

Button2.Text = (String)GetGlobalResourceObject(
"WebResourcesGlobal", "Button2.Text");


A local default resource file stored in the special App_LocalResources folder is named according to the ASP.NET page. For example, if the following code is used in a Default.aspx page, the resource file must be named Default.aspx.resx. For this example, add a string resource to this file named Button1.Text with the value "Found Resources".

A global default resource file that is stored in the special App_GlobalResources folder is named WebResourcesGlobal.resx. Add a string resource named LogoUrl with the value "Found Resources".
