Best practice for ASP.NET MVC resource files

Question

What are the best usage of the following resource files.

1. Properties → Resources (Phil used this resource for localization in DataAnnotation)
2. App_Glo

Answer 1

Properties → Resources can be seen outside of your views and strong types are generated when you compile your application.

App_* is compiled by ASP.NET, when your views are compiled. They're only available in the view. See this page for global vs. local.
