TOPIC:	A Data-Driven Approach to Localization This session provides an introduction to localization with ASP.NET as well as demonstrating extending ASP.NET with a custom data driven ResourceProvider. The focus in this session is on localization from a developer perspective and getting an application set up and ready to be localized. The session covers the basics of cultures, utilizing resource providers and setting up ResX resources and dealing with the complexities of locale mapping in your applications. In the second half of the session we'll dig deeper and explore how to extend ASP.NET with a custom ResourceProvider that can use a database to provide more dynamic access to resources for editing and more control of resource generation. The session demonstrates and provides a fully data-driven resource provider along with an online Web Resource Editor that can be used to edit resources in real time in your running applications.
