The custom controls that you develop not only contain the logic and data but also things such as images and JavaScript files. One easy way to make these images and script files available to your control at run time is to deploy them along with your control. This approach, though easy, is error prone. What if somebody deletes the images after the deployment? What if someone replaces the script files with malicious script? The best way is to embed such files in your control assembly itself and retrieve them in your code. Formally such files (images, script, multilingual strings etc.) are called as Resources. In this article we are going to learn various approaches taken to embed and retrieve resources in a custom control.
