What is the difference between “@Scripts.Render” and “”?

Visual Studio – Tool to replace hard coded strings with resources

I have a big ASP.NET project full of hard coded strings, that now have to be extracted to resources. Such strings can be found almost anywhere (in .cs files, .aspx files, .ascx files, etc.) and the amount of files is huge. What I’m looking for is a tool (or any way) to find all these hard coded strings in one shot and put them all together in the resource file, instead of me going manually through each file.

.NET migrations: Setup and migrate multiple databases at runtime

Brief introduction:
I have this ASP.NET Webforms site with the particularity that it doesn’t have only 1 database, it has many.
Why? Because you can create new “instances” of the site on-the-fly. Every “instance” share the same codebase, but has its own database. These all databases have the same schema (structure) but of course different data. Don’t ask ‘why don’t you put everything in one database and use InstanceId to know which is” because it’s a business policy thing.
