Introduction
The Localize control is used to Localize any element on an .aspx page. It provides design time feature not offered by its base class, the Literal control. In particular the Localize control provides design time editing of static content so you can use a default value while working in page design mode. It is also used to reserve a location on web page to display localized text. The Localize control is identical to the Literal control and similar to the Label control.
