So I've implement a custom ResourceProvider and ResourceManager. It's actually working correctly, however, I'm a little confused why the the IResourceProvider.GetObject() method always receives an Invariant culture.

Hi Rick,

I am not sure but may be thread agility be one of the issues. Is it possible for you to paste some sample trimmed down version of your code here so that I can also try and figure out what's happening behind the scenes?

Regards,

It turns out I had a problem with the code in GetResourceKeys() which I lifted from DefaultImplictResourceProvider(). The code seemed to work but something must have been wrong with the returned keys as GetObject never did get called.

 I posted more info on this here:

Hi

Just wrote a simple "hello world" custom provider, following Rick Strahl's excellent paper.

However, as in the original post, Getobject() seems to be called twice, once with culture = invariant, and then a second time with culture= nothing, although my page culture and UiCulture are both "es-es". Why is Getobject  called twice and why is the culture argument an incorrect value both times?

 As in Rick Strahl's code, if culture= nothing then I just use the CurrentUiCulture in Getobject(). This solves the problem, and the final page gets the correct localized string . But the questions still remain.

 Thanks a bunch.
