Deploy ASP.NET app without .resx file?

I have an ASP.NET web application with a .resx file in App_GlobalResources whose resources are typically accessed like this:

ASPX: <asp:Literal ID="l1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:GalleryServerPro, Admin_Tab_Hdr %>" />

Code-behind: string msg = Resources.GalleryServerPro.Successfully_Restored_Msg;

Is there any way to compile the .resx values directly into the DLL so that I can deploy the app without the .resx file and not have to edit any of the existing code?

I ask this because I am porting an existing app to a DotNetNuke module and DotNetNuke does not allow .resx files, so I am looking for a workaround.

Thanks, Roger Martin Gallery Server Pro

You do not need to change your code. You need to look at creating satellite assemblies.

This is covered in better detail in blog postings such as: http://blogs.msdn.com/pedram/archive/2007/08/04/automated-build-of-satellite-assemblies-in-visual-studio-with-msbuild.aspx
