Hi,

I have a resource file that has resource names and their values which i need to use across the project. Project contains multiple .ascx files. I want to use the resource strings all over the project. Till now, i haven't found exact solution of that. I have used resourcekey keyword but i does not picks value from the resource file. I placed the file in App_GlobalResources, in 'Resources' folder, in App_LocalResources (project level), but none of them worked.

Any idea!

I placed the resource keys in SharedResources.resx file (placed under Resources folder) but when i use a resource string using ResourceKey="anyresourcekey", no text is shown at the place where i used resource key. e.g,

<dnn:labelcontrol id="lblLanguages" runat="server" ResourceKey="lblLanguages.Text" >

'lblLanguages.Text' is resource key inside the resource file. I also tried to use following syntax but it doesn't worked (It works fine in standard asp.net application)

<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="<%=Resources: MyResourceFile, lblLanguages.Text%>" />

The only thing that works is when resource file is placed in association with control in App_LocalResources folder by following syntax (which is not needed in my scenario). for example

<asp:TextBox ID="txtRedirectURL" runat="server" CssClass="abc" meta:resourcekey="txtPhoneNumberResource1" MaxLength="255"></asp:TextBox>

It would be nice if you list down all the steps in detail including how to use the resource key. I may be missing some step. Please note that our application is Module based.

Hi All,

After some R&D, i have found how to use resources from single file in our .vb or .cs files. Here is the example

DotNetNuke.Services.Localization.Localization.GetString("mykey.Text", ResolveUrl("~\App_GlobalResources\ResourceFileName.resx"))

Resourcefilename.resx can be SharedResources.resx or any other file you need to use.

Now currently the problem left is to use our own resource file (in App_GlobalResources folder) in *.ascx file.

Any idea!
