Needing to localize a GridView control's header text as well as the captions on the buttons in a CommandField, I wrote the following:

Public Shared Sub LocalizeGridView(ByVal gv As GridView, ByVal ResourceFile As String)
     Dim key As String
     Dim localizedText As String
     Dim pi As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo

     For Each col As DataControlField In gv.Columns
           key = col.HeaderText
           If key <> "" Then
               localizedText = Localization.GetString(key & ".Header", ResourceFile)
               If localizedText <> "" Then
                   col.HeaderText = localizedText
               End If
           End If

           'Localize text of Cancel, Delete, Edit, Insert, Select, New, Update buttons
           If TypeOf col Is CommandField Then
                Dim cmdField As CommandField = DirectCast(col, CommandField)
                For Each cmdName As String In New String() {"Cancel", "Delete", "Edit", "Insert", "Select", "New", "Update"}
                      pi = cmdField.GetType.GetProperty(cmdName & "Text", GetType(String))
                      key = CType(pi.GetValue(cmdField, Nothing), String)
                      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(key) Then
                          localizedText = Localization.GetString(key & ".CommandText", ResourceFile)
                          If localizedText <> "" Then
                               pi.SetValue(cmdField, localizedText, Nothing)
                          End If
                      End If
               Next
          End If
     Next
End Sub

In the local resource file, the keys for Header text should end with .Header while the keys for the CommandField button captions should end with .CommandText. In a CommandField, the EditText, CancelText, etc. default to "Edit", "Cancel", etc. so unless the defaults are overridden in the CommandField declaration, use keys of "Edit.CommandText", "Cancel.CommandText", etc. in the resource file.

I'm not sure if my use of reflection in getting and setting the captions of the CommandField buttons is the most efficient performance wise, it was quick to write using fewer statements.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

Could you show me the way to translate in to C# language.

I tried to translate:

 private void LocalizeGridView(GridView gv)
        {
            string key;
            string localizedText;
            System.Reflection.PropertyInfo pi;
            foreach (DataControlField col in gv.Columns)
            {
                key = col.HeaderText;
                if (key != "")
                {
                    localizedText = Localization.GetString(key + ".Header", this.LocalResourceFile);
                    if (localizedText != "")
                    {
                        col.HeaderText = localizedText;
                    }
                }
                //Localize text of Cancel, Delete, Edit, Insert, Select, New, Update buttons
                if (col is CommandField)
                {
                    CommandField cmdField = (CommandField)col;
                    string[] strCommandName = new string[4] {"Cancel", "Delete", "Edit", "Update"};
                    foreach (string cmdName in strCommandName)
                    {
                         pi = cmdField.GetType.GetProperty(cmdName & "Text", GetType(String))
                        key = pi.GetValue(cmdField, null).ToString();
                        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(key) == false)
                        {
                            localizedText = Localization.GetString(key + ".CommandText", this.LocalResourceFile);
                            if (localizedText != "")
                            {
                                pi.SetValue(cmdField, localizedText, null);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

}

 

Help me convert red code !

 

pi = cmdField.GetType().GetProperty(cmdName + "Text", typeof(String));

give that a try
