    I've noticed my resource files are getting a bit messy on my ASP.net MVC

    Does anyone have any conventions for resource files? eg naming conventions for peices of text? how they group peices of text?

    I've also found that putting HTML in resource files has helped in some situations, Are there any pitfalls with this?

    Does anyone have any tips on how to impliment resource files so that they are easy to maintain?

    In MSDN you can find naming conventions for the Resource files but they refer to the naming of the file and not the variables inside the files. See link below.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w24xty37(v=vs.80).aspx

    For the resources in the file you can define a naming convention and use it.

    It is not advisable. Ideally HTML should be placed where it belongs.
