For webforms, all I needed to do to have resx files work was the following:
Add the following line in your web.config, in the system.web section:
<globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" enableClientBasedCulture="true"/>
Create the App_GlobalResources folder (assuming you want the resx files to apply to all pages, and that you are not creating separate files for each page). Add two resx files, the default one (in my case English) content.resx, and one for french, content.fr.resx.
The name "content" can be what you want, but it must be the same for all these files. Of course you can add other files for other languages, using the same naming format with the proper language tag, e.g, in my example, "content.hi.resx"
Assuming the .resx files have the following content:
content.resx:
Greeting Good Morning
Description This is an English language web site
and for content.fr.resx:
Greeting Bonjour
Description C'est un website en francais
Displaying the content in the page would be done by setting the Text property as follows:
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Greeting" Text="<%$ Resources:content, Greeting %>" />
and
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="Description" Text="<%$ Resources:content, Description %>" />
Change the language setting in your browser to English and then to French and you'll see the difference. (Don't forget to restart your browser for the language preference change to take hold.)
