I have been trying to use the resourcekey attribute on my controls and I can not get anything to render from the local or global resource files.  I have stripped my "moduleMain.ascx.resx" file of all the extra info, copied DNN Template.resx, created new ones etc.  Nothing.  I have tried to remove the Text attribute from the controls, but the text attribute in a different order.  I have tried lots of things. 

My modules are all "Partial Class ....."  not "Public Class ..." and they all inherit a custom class that "Inherits Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase"

Any attempts to use the "Resource:WebResource, ControlName" causes the module to say that there are multiple controls with the same name in the error message.

Shouldn't the skinning engine take care of all this? 

Any ideas?

vmasanas,

Thanks for the comments, time and work on the project.  I reviewed both papers on localization.  I can't get the JIT compiler to use the resource files either on the remote or local server.  What I have is this...

Public mainModule (I tried partial as well)
Inherits MyFormsClass

MyFormsClass
Inherits PortalModuleBase

In the mainModule.ascx file I have a label control

<asp:Label id=FirstName resourcekey="FirstName" CssClass="LabelHeader" runat="server"></asp:Label>

My DesktopModules/myModule/App_LocalResources/mainModule.ascx.resx has a key:FirstName and value: Text:First Name.

The label will not render the text.  I have tried a lot of variations.  I tried inheriting from usercontrol and pagebase just to test, I have set AutoEventWireup to true and false.  Nothing.

I can use the core clientapi to add a confirm to a link and that works. 

I won't get the VS2005 for a couple of weeks, so I won't be able to compile it and try it that route until then.

Tell me if you need anything else.

Thanks again for all the effort.  I plan on applying for to a team in the near future after I can wrap up this current project.  The project requires a lot of localization and is running multi-lingual.  Do you you know of any web services that provide translations?

Thanks, Roman
