resources by customer (not culture)

[Jon Paugh]

Hello!

Any leads on how to go about creating a website where
resources are based on the customer rather than the
culture? E.g. customer A gets jpg 1, customer B gets jpg2.

Thanks,

ok... store the info in a db, retrieve it based on their login.
instead of coding the JPG directly, retrieve the customer specific choice
from the db.

A given installation will only support one customer, so
maybe there is a better way than going to the database.

I was under the impression the customer was the logged in user, not the
server setup.
In that case few options.
1) give the files the right names....logo.jpg is ALWAYS the name it has to
be.
2) use an INC file to hold the values/names assigning them to constants.
Then always reference the constant name instead of the actual graphic.

Thanks for the response Curt.

I am wondering in this case what the difference is between
using an INC file vs using a Resource file? Don't they
both contain key to value mappings? Why use an INC file
instead of a resource file?
