In this talk I discussed the new features of localization in ASP.NET 2.0 including:

·        Web Forms resource generator

·        Localization expressions

·        Strongly-typed resources

·        Improved Resource Editor

·        ResourceManager lifetime management

·        Automatic culture selection

·        New Microsoft ASP.NET deployment options

·        New resource provider model

The sample I demonstrated showed a simple progression of feature implementation, and you can download that here:

In fact, this sample is related to the MSDN article that I updated already to reflect Beta2, and one of these days soon they should post my updated article to the following link:

I also have a more advanced sample, that includes the use of a localized database, the membership provider, profile and themes in 2.0, caching architecture, and more. This sample is available from this blog post:

And of course I have some other resources for your interest…
