When upgrading a Website from an earlier version of Visual Studio NET.
Earlier versions of Visual Studio offered the option to create a Websites (not Web projects). These websites have no project file and resource files can't be set for embedded. The solution lies with the following steps:
  • Create a folder at the site root called App_LocalResources.
  • Place the TeeChart.Licenses file in the folder.
  • Create a resx file to be added to the same folder, we generally call it Steema.resx but the choice of name isn't important.
  • Add the followng contents to the resx file: 
    <data name="TeeChart" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
  <value>TeeChart.licenses;System.Byte[], mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
</data>
    Example of a complete resx file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
