Custom resource provider considerations

If you use a custom resource provider, which implements the IResourceProvider interface, you must include the following code at the beginning of the GetObject method:

using System.Globalization;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Web;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
   public class CustomResourceProviderClass : IResourceProvider
   {
        public object GetObject(string resourceKey, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext == null)
                return "Compile time value";
            
            //custom code
            return "some object";
        }

       public string GetResourceContent(string resourceName)
       {
           throw new System.NotImplementedException();
       }

       public bool TryGetResourceContent(string resourceName, out string resourceContent)
       {
           throw new System.NotImplementedException();
       }
   }
}

This is required, because some resources are dynamic and cannot be resolved during compilation
