Overlib Custom Controls using WebResource Files

ref: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scripting/OverlibDemo.aspx

This article describes an encapsulation of an existing JavaScript popup library using ASP.NET custom controls with the script being provided to the page directly from an assembly using a WebResource (.axd) stream.

Some background on the script library will be given, along with how to use the WebResource technique to eliminate having to manually deploy the script on your website or to dynamically modify the web.config and site structure at design time to accomplish the same end.

Lastly some examples of extending standard ASP.NET controls such as the button, link button and image will be demonstrated, illustrating how easy it is to use the scripts, in conjunction with a script manager control which is placed on the page at design time.

The demonstration code uses VS 2005 SP1 to take advantage of Web Applications, and the sample code is written with C#, so make sure you have both.
