asp.net - Using .Resx files for global application messages?

Question

So I'm using a Global Resource file for all static messages within my site. Mainly error messages etc..

They do not need to be localized, but I felt it was just a good idea to store them all in one location.

Would it have been better to use just a static class called "SiteConstants" or something? Or is using a RESX file okay?

Thanks!

Yes, use resource files …

That's the most common place for messages. Even Microsoft uses them with .net Framework. Look inside any DLL and you'll find them inside as resource (use a tool like .Net Reflector)

Constants are usually used with low level unmanaged code.
