Configuring a Web Part Header from a Resource File

I am trying to install a header and description web part via a resource file. My .webpart

file has this content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<webParts>
  <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
    <metaData>
      <type name="MyWebParts.MyWebPart" />
      <importErrorMessage>Cannot import this web part.</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
      <properties>
        <property name="Title" type="string">$Resources:MyWebPartResources,WebPartTitle</property>
        <property name="Description" type="string">$Resources:MyWebPartResources,WebPartDescr</property>
      </properties>
    </data>
  </webPart>
</webParts>

I put the resource file in a folder 12\Resources

.

But the Add Web Part dialog doesn't seem to display the title and description from the resource file.

Has anyone fixed this?

Update-1: In the Add Web Part dialog box, I see the following instead of text in the resource file:

$Resources:MyWebPartResources,WebPartTitle
$Resources:MyWebPartResources,WebPartDescr

Link, SharePoint Internal Resources: Resources (given by anchorpoint in the comment) helped a lot. Lee Dale is also true. Although it still didn't work on my machine the first time I was right. Perhaps this is due to a caching issue.



Later I tried to clear the temporary internet files, deactivate and activate the function, it worked!

The resource file should be at websiteroot / App_GlobalResources I guess.



The contents of the 12 / Resources folder are only copied to App_GlobalResources when the web application is first created.
