string sResxFolder =
(string) oMyAppSettings.Item(PropertyNames.PublicResourceFolder).Value;
string sResxFileName =
(string) oMyAppSettings.Item(PropertyNames.PublicResourceFileName).Value;
// get the physical folder name from the activity's Request collection
string sFolderName = Request.MapPath(sResxFolder, "", true);
PublicResourcesManager prm = new PublicResourcesManager(sFolderName, sResxFileName);
string sDisplayName = prm.GetString("ActivityDisplayName");
string sDescription = prm.GetString("Description");
