I came across this issue. Hope somebody can help me out.

The module I'm building have serveral controls, and main view control contains all other controls. While localization of main view control works fine, localization of contained controls doesn't work. Strange thing is that when any of these contained controls is used as main view control, localization works. Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you so much

Hi Frank,

Chances are the LocalResourceFile that the contained control is using isn't the one you expect. IIRC, the localization files for contained controls need to be in the parent control's App_LocalResources subdirectory with a name that reflects the ID of the contained control.

It's been awhile and my memory is a little hazy, so I reccommend taking a look at the contained control's localresourcefile variable and making sure your resources are located at this spot. You can also explicitly set this path when instantiating the control: <mynamespace:mycontrol id="foo" runat="server" localresourcefile="..." />

Hope this helps!
