A resource provider facilitates the retrieving of values from a resource file. When an expression of the form <%$ Resources: classKey, resourceKey %> is encountered during page parsing, the resource provider returns the localized value for the resource. The System.Web.Compilation.ResourceProviderFactory class creates instances of System.Web.Compilation.IResourceProvider objects for use in retrieving the values.
