Hi

I have an application which needs to display information in several
languages. I want to have the flexibility of web.config, I guess one
alternative is resource files; but I don't want to recomplie the application
everytime I modify the resource file. Another thing I can implement
IConfigurationSectionHandler to get custom settings which I can read and
interact with through ConfigurationManager.GetSection(...)

What approach do people suggest?

Craig

you can use external sattelite files (.resx), that can be changed without
recompiles. Take a look at page 3 and 4 of
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet...1/localpt3.htm it provides a
useful example. If you're developing in 2.0, then it provides automatic
support for resource files, as long as you follow the naming conventions.
