Web Service Localization

[shannma]

Hi

I have a .NET C# web service.

Some of the methods of the web service returns strings. I have localized
these strings by using a resource file (Resources.resx).

I have then copied this resource file to Resources.fr-FR.resx and translated
the strings.

When I embed the Resources.fr-FR.resx in my DLL, the web service displays
the proper strings in French.

However, I do not want to embed the resource files in my DLL so I created a
Satellite DLL using resgen (Test.resources.dll).

I then placed the Satellite DLL in a subfolder called fr-FR under the root
folder of the virtual directory.

When I call a method of my web service, the french resources are not getting
loaded. I tried placing the satellite DLL in App_LocalResources but that did
not work either.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marie
