The following code example demonstrates how to programmatically apply the WebResourceAttribute metadata attribute to mark the assembly for the resources that will be served.

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Security.Permissions;

[assembly: WebResource("Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls.script_include.js", "application/x-javascript")]
namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
    [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
    public class ClientScriptResourceLabel
    {
        // Class code goes here.
    }
}
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Security.Permissions

<Assembly: WebResource("Samples.AspNet.VB.Controls.script_include.js", "application/x-javascript")> 
Namespace Samples.AspNet.VB.Controls

    <AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level:=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
    Public Class ClientScriptResourceLabel

        ' Class code goes here.

    End Class

End Namespace

This example requires a JavaScript file named Script_include.js, with the following contents:

function DoClick() {Form1.Message.value='Text from resource script.'}  

Compile the Script_include.js file as a resource in the Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls assembly that contains the ClientScriptResourceLabel class.

Remarks

The RegisterClientScriptResource method is used when accessing compiled-in resources from assemblies through the WebResource.axd HTTP handler. The RegisterClientScriptResource method registers the script with the Page object and prevents duplicate scripts. This method wraps the contents of the resource URL with a <script> element block.
