Local Resources:

1. Local resource is specific to a single Web page and used for providing versions of a Web page in different languages.
2. Local resources must be stored in App_LocalResources sub folder.
3. Local resources must be named in format [.language / language and culture].resx.

Ex: Default.aspx.resx- Base resource file. This is the default, or fallback, resource file.

Default.aspx.de.resx- A resource file for German etc.

Global Resources:

Global Resources Localization Suggestion for ASP.NET

1. Global resource can be read from any page or code that is in the application.

2. Global resource must be stored in App_GlobalResources at the root of the application.

   // Get the global resource string.

    try
    { 
        globalresourcestring = (String)GetGlobalResourceObject("MyResource", "GlobalResourceString1"); 
    } 
    catch
    { 
        globalresourcestring = "Could not find global resource."; 
    }
