Summary: In this short article I will describe the creation of a Visual Studio.NET 2005 macro that speeds up the process of adding localizable controls to ASP.NET web pages, briefly touching on the subjects of ASP.NET localization, regular expressions and world peace.

What’s this business with Narnia anyway? Am I supposed to know what it is? Is this like the three musketeers or something? Or is it the new Harry Potter? Am I too old for this? Or too young? What’s going on? I totally missed it.…
