记录几个要点：

1. Web Resource是什么？解决什么问题？Web Resource使用一种称为WebResouce.axd的处理程序（Hanlder），该处理程序用来从Assembly中检索抽取（retrieve)静态资源文件并返回给浏览器。处理程序WebResource.axd的类型是AssemblyResourceLoader。
2. Web Resource是怎样解决这些问题的（Web Resource是如何工作的How Web Resource Work）？也就是Web Resource是怎样根据请求从Assembly中检索抽取静态文件并返回给客户端的（分解开来，这里有两个个问题（1）针对WebResouce.axd的请求时如何产生的；（2）处理程序WebResource.axd处理该请求的具体过程是怎样的）？针对前面的问题（2）（问题（1）的答案见下面的第4点），回答如下：When a request comes in from the client for WebResource.axd, the handler looks for the Web Resource identifier in theQueryString method of the Request object（当一个针对WebResource.axd的请求从客户端进来时，WebResource.axd处理程序从该请求的QueryString方法中查找Web Resource identifier). Based on the value of the Web Resource identifier, the handler then tries to load the assembly that contains this resource(然后，WebResource.axd试图加载包含Web Resource identifier所指资源的Assembly）. If this operation is successful, the handler will then look for the assembly attribute and load the resource stream from the assembly. Finally, the handler will grab the data from the resource stream and send it to the client together with the content type that you specify in the assembly attribute。The URL for WebResource.axd looks like the following:

   WebResource.axd?d=SbXSD3uTnhYsK4gMD8fL84_mHPC5jJ7lfdnr1_WtsftZiUOZ6IXYG8QCXW86UizF0&t=632768953157700078
   

   The format of this URL is WebResource.axd?d=encrypted identifier&t=time stamp value. The "d" stands for the requested Web Resource. The "t" is the timestamp for the requested assembly, which can help in determining if there have been any changes to the resource.
3. 如何将静态资源文件嵌入Assembly？
4. 如何从Assembly中取出静态资源文件（即如何生成对处理程序WebResource.axd的请求）？For getting the Web Resource, I have used the GetWebResourceUrl method, which is a method of the ClientScriptManagerclass that is typically used for managing client-side scripts. This method returns a URL reference to the server-side resource that is embedded in an assembly. The GetWebResourceUrl method accepts the following two parameters:
   • Type: The type of the server-side resource
   • Resource Name: The name of the server-side resource
   To use this method, first you have to create an instance of the ClientScriptManager class and get the type of the class as shown below.When you have an instance of this class, you then have to call this method and pass the appropriate parameters as shown below, where I create a HyperLink button, and set the NavigateURL method to point to an embedded HTML resource.
    1 HyperLink hlHelpFile = new HyperLink();
    2 hlHelpFile.NavigateUrl = cs.GetWebResourceUrl(rsType, "SimpleControl.Help.htm");
    3 hlHelpFile.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "ChangeImage(‘image1‘,‘Red‘)");
    4 hlHelpFile.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "RollbackImage(‘image1‘,‘Green‘)");
    5             
    6 this.Controls.Add(hlHelpFile);
    7 
    8 Image imgTest = new Image();
    9 imgTest.ImageUrl = cs.GetWebResourceUrl(rsType, "SimpleControl.smallFail.gif");
   10 imgTest.ID = "image1";
   11 hlHelpFile.Controls.Add(imgTest);

   
   回到上面1的问题，Web Resouce解决什么问题？解决的是为客户端返回资源文件的问题，所以如果你知道了资源文件的位置（也就是说如果你请求的资源文件不再Assembly中），完全没有必要使用Web Resource。
