Hi,

I'm having a problem with some code that worked in 5.0.1 - but doesn't appear to be working in 5.1.1 - I'm thinking that perhaps there have been changes to how localization is handled.

This code worked in 5.0.1:

**************

Dim strPath As String = "~/DesktopModules/CambrianSideImage/" & Localization.LocalResourceDirectory & "/" & Localization.LocalSharedResourceFile

Dim strDefaultContent As String = DotNetNuke.Services.Localization.Localization.GetString("DefaultImageContent", strPath)

*************

The string strPath points to the correct file, but...

In 5.1.1, strDefaultContent returns Nothing - for some reason it is not retrieving the value of the DefaultImageContent string in the sharedresources.resx file.

Any ideas? 

Same here - it happens when trying to access the SharedResources.resx - and the resource files for the ascx files (i.e. view.ascx.resx) using the same code you are using.

Hi,

The path and filenames are capitalized correctly (i.e. the value of the path variable below matches the path and file name).

The user control is named View.ascx
Running DNN 5.1.1.98
Windows Vista Home Premium
Default AppPool
IIS Physical Path: C:\devportals\Cambrian
IIS Virtual Path: /cambrian

Note:  The code below, that returns Nothing in 5.1.1.98- runs just fine in 5.0.1...

********************************

Here is the code:

Dim strPath As String = "~/DesktopModules/CambrianSideAd/" & Localization.LocalResourceDirectory & "/" & Localization.LocalSharedResourceFile

*** strPath returns:  "~/DesktopModules/CambrianSideAd/App_LocalResources/SharedResources.resx"

Dim strDefaultContent As String = DotNetNuke.Services.Localization.Localization.GetString("DefaultContent", strPath)

*** strDefaultContent returns nothing - in the SharedResources.resx file, DefaultContent.Text = "This is the default content"

Dim strTest As String = Localization.GetString("AdContent", LocalResourceFile)

*** strTest also returns nothing, in View.ascx.resx, AdContent = "Here is the ad content"

This really has me stumped...
