Question

is it possible to use the default resource provider that uses .resx files in the application but uses an SqlResourceProvider in a sub folder?

seems like the only one used is the one configured in web.config of the root?

any idea ?

Answer 1

I needed something similar, returning a custom ResourceProvider for specific classkeys, but then fallback to default resource providers otherwise.

I created a custom ResourceProviderFactory that returns my custom resource provider when requested, but otherwise returns null, which appears to cause the default provider to be used instead.

[DesignTimeResourceProviderFactory(typeof(CustomizedResourceProviderDesignTimeFactory))]
public class CustomizedResourceProviderFactory : ResourceProviderFactory
{
    public override IResourceProvider CreateGlobalResourceProvider(string classKey)
    {
        if (classKey == "MyCustomResourceClass")
        {
            return new CustomizedResourceProvider(classKey);
        }
        else
        {
            return null;
        }
    }
    // etc.
}
