Access global resources in an asp.net control

meta:resourcekey="WizardStep1Resource1"

This is what I use to access a App_LocalResources.

How do I access a resource in App_GlobalResources?

SOLUTION: Create a resource called Globalresource.resx in App_GlobalResources. In the file set a property called Test with the text Hello. Then it is called like Text='<%$ Resources:GlobalResource, Test%>'

There are 2 ways to access a Global resources from C# code and from javascript functions. Below you can see both ways.

Imagine that you created a Global resource named WholeSite, inside you have a row named UnexpectedError.

txTitle is TextBox field.

C# Code: 

txtTitle.Text = Resources.WholeSite.UnexpectedError;

Javascript/.aspx: 

alert("<%= Resources.WholeSite.UnexpectedError %>");

You can only access a resource in App_GlobalResources explicitly, using the implicit wiring i.e. meta:resourcekey="WizardStep1Resource1" is applicable only for local resources

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227427.aspx

To access a resource in App_GlobalResources, use explicit localization like 

   <%= (string)GetGlobalResourceObject("ResourcesClass", "WizardStep1Resource1") %>

Text='<%$ Resources:Resource, WizardStep1Resource1 %>'

Text is the name of the property you want to set. Resource is the name of the global Resourcefile resp. ResourceClass and WizardStep1Resource1 is the name of the Resource Text.
