For 2005, there is the App_GlobalResources and App_LocalResources folder, if you are using ASP.NET. &nbsp;If you aren't, then you can name the folder anything reasonable, like Resources.<br />

I have added three resource files into my project, I have a control that requires the full path to these files (so I cant use my.resources). When I distribute the project is there a standard place to put the resources folder ie under the application root. What I want to happen is that if I code the filename it stays the same when distributed. Any ideas
