When I started localizing a website the first time, I just did the localization like this:

<%= Resources.ResourceFile.ResourceName %>

and it seems to work perfectly fine. However, the ReSharper 5.0 Beta does it like this:

<asp:Localize Text="<%$ Resources: ResourceFile, ResourceName %>" runat="server">
  Value
</asp:Localize>

Does it matter which way it gets done?

Also, why does ReSharper keep the original text inside the localize control? I thought it was there in case the Value inside the Resource file was empty, it could show the "default" text. This does not appear to be the case. Is it safe to remove it and just self close the localize control?
