Access to .resx and web.config

sorry if this not appropriate forum section, didnt find better one. here goes problem.

i need let users have access (being able change values) resource files (where put language translations), app.config files (i have 1 each of components) , web.config file.

obviously tell them change things directly in xml files, not seem elegant solution, thought there might better way this...

 

thanks not!

hi raul,

   read post , guess have application , several customers application deployed, want give customers ability of localizing labels, etc

   wrong?

 

   first thing suggest separating labels in separated file (an xml 1 good) , create basic gui user localize each. may have in config file meta info of labels (in other words, belong -app.config, resources, web.config-)

 

   gui may have final button regenerate app after of finished

 

   particularly web.config may changed thru asp.net administrator tools (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/architecture/ms379597.aspx)
