For example, does the following syntax still work on DNN?

<asp:Label ID="lblRows" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:lblRows.Text %>" ></asp:Label>

More importantly, does the above will reach appropriate resource file in App_LocalResources according to the selected lanague via DNN?

Thanks a lot.

Ricky.

aliasncnu,

You'll want to use the following syntax:

<asp:Label runat="server" ResourceKey="RowsLabel" />

If you are in a control called "Text.ascx" - this will look in (relatively) App_LocalResources\Text.ascx.resx" for a key "RowsLabel.Text" and return the appropriate value.

This (behind the scenes) uses the LocalResourceFile property from portal module base to dynamically create the appropriate relative URL for a given control.

That should be a good start - let us know if you have any other questions.

Take care,

Ian

Hello Lan,

Appreciate much for your reply.

Actually, I have had a UserControl, UC that is localized with ASP.NET bulit-in manner (as in original post), and would like to transfer it to DNN. Is there any knack that is compatibile to both ASP.NET and DNN localization mechanism?

Thanks,

Ricky.

Hi Ian,

I ran into a similar issue awhile back, and was forced to adapt DNN to allow use of ASP.NET localization (DNN had its own powerful localization library long before ASP.NET 2.0).  I discuss the changes necessary to utilize both methods side-by-side here: http://brandonhaynes.org/GamePlan3/Home/tabid/489/EntryID/4/Default.aspx.  Unfortunately, at this time it still requires one small core change (and the resultant recompile).  I believe the work item that would alleviate this core change is still open, so there remains some small hope that in the future this method would be possible without any core modifications.

Hope this helps!

Brandon

First of all, aliasncnu sorry for the hijack of your post but I wasn't able to find an email for Brandon and figured this would be a great edition to this post.

Brandon - great post!  Got a few questions:  I am building custom controls (.ascx files) within my own ASP.NET 3.5 web project, compiling the project, adding the .dlls to the BIN directory and adding the ascx control to my DNN site via Xepient Solutions Open-Smart Module and all is well!  The problem is I am not able to localize any of the text although I have an App_LocalResources directory in my local project and the needed resourceKey:Label1.Text.  Is there something else I have to do in order to get this to work properly?  My controls are in the Portals\0 directory of my DNN site and I have tried to put my App_LocalResources directory in there as well as other places and still nothing.  Any suggestions?
