Best practice for ASP.NET MVC resource files

by

You should avoid App_GlobalResources and App_LocalResources.
Like Craig mentioned, there are problems with App_GlobalResources/App_LocalResources because you can’t access them outside of the ASP.NET runtime. A good example of how this would be problematic is when you’re unit testing your app.

K. Scott Allen blogged about this a while ago. He does a good job of explaining the problem with App_GlobalResources in ASP.NET MVC here.
