ResourceProviderFactory Class

Serves as the base class for classes that create resource providers.

Namespace:  System.Web.Compilation
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
Public MustInherit Class ResourceProviderFactory
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As ResourceProviderFactory
C#
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
public abstract class ResourceProviderFactory
Visual C++
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
public ref class ResourceProviderFactory abstract
JScript
public abstract class ResourceProviderFactory

ResourceProviderFactory is an abstract class that serves as the base class for objects that return global and local resource providers. Classes must derive from ResourceProviderFactory to implement its functionality.

The following code example shows a customized resource provider factory that retrieves cached values.
