Recently I got a contribution from BeJay, one of IZWebFileManager users. It was 3 new language resource files: China, Czech and Slovakia.
So by now IZWebFileManager supports 17 languages! Isn't it great?
Most recent release available for download from google code: http://code.google.com/p/izwebfilemanager/
IZWebFileManager is an open source project. You are welcome to contribute!

It seems to be a common issue.
ASP.NET allows you to use resource files (*.resx) to localize content of pages (or views, if we are in context of ASP.NET MVC). All what you need is to put resource files under ~/App_GlobalResources folder and use either resource expression or HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject() API to get a proper string. It is well documented on MSDN. The only issue - this API is not accessible within static resources such JavaScript files.

ASP.NET provides a few default HTTP handlers: Page handler (.aspx), Web Service handler (.asmx), Generic handler (.ashx) and so forth.
ASHX Generic handler is special since it allows to implement IHttpHandler API immediately.
There is a sample - HelloWorld.ashx:

When working on new features in IZWebFileManager I needed to change rendered HTML.
I took a look at the code I wrote more then 3 years ago.... It is so complicated!
IZWebFileManager is a typical custom control that overrides Render and uses HtmlTextWriter's API to produce HTML. Here is a small part of the rendering flow:

A recent study measured the productivity of using Python+Django vs. C#+ASP.NET, in terms of user-stories per week. The results are that 1 Django developer is equivalent to 2 ASP.NET developers, productivity-wise:

The Django team that participated in the benchmark, BTW, had no prior experience with Django, which probably implies that the difference can be even higher.
