Export Sql data to resource files

Question

User-230561051 posted
hi.

I've implemented localization using resource files in my .net app.
Now i need to store the text strings in sql because i need to access it elsewhere and from other platforms.

so i want to know if i can export my sql table that contains the texts to a resource file, making it on the fly, and it being updated directly on my page so that i dont need to compile anything.

or do i need to create a system for localization using regular xml?

which version?

in v2.0 you can do a custom ResourceProvider.

here is a howto for v1.x

if it is just one time export you can use the System.Resources.ResXResourceReader and System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter

or just the Xml Dom( XmlDocument,  DataSet class. The resx structure is so simple that any of these would work.

HTH!
