Resource strings Kentico 7

Hello All,

What is the best way to keep and access a resource string like "Hello World" on Kentico and how to access it.

I know Kentico has Content Block in version but we still are not going soon on Kentico 8.

Localization is not a concern for me. I would like to keep them in a way so that there is a way via K# to access it directly anywhere.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Use the UI Localization module. This way you can access the strings in C# and K#. Here are a few things to note:

By default, Kentico uses the database first to retrieve resources, then any custom.resx file, then cms.resx
Kentico has a cms.resx file in the /CMSResources directory, which can be modified, but not recommended
If you enter a record using Site Manager>Development>UI Cultures with the same key as what is in the cms.resx file, the database value will override the .resx file
If you enter <add key="CMSUseSQLResourceManagerAsPrimary" value="false" /> in your web.config, SQL will be last in the order of retrieving your resources.

Short answer is I'd recommend using the database as it offers the most flexibility, access and easy to upgrade.
