IResourceProvider.ResourceReader Property

Gets an object to read resource values from a source.

Namespace:  System.Web.Compilation
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
IResourceReader ResourceReader { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Resources.IResourceReader
The IResourceReader associated with the current resource provider.

An IResourceReader object reads sequential name/value pairs from a source. The ResourceReader and ResXResourceReader classes provide default IResourceReader interface implementation for reading from .resources and .resx files, respectively. Other implementations of the IResourceProvider interface could read from any source containing resource values.

The following code example shows a customized resource provider factory that retrieves cached values. The resource provider factory creates an instance of a customized resource provider that implements IResourceProvider. The resource provider includes a customized ResourceReader property.
