App_localresources not working with directories

hey, cant find how to solve this thing,

i have a test project with the following directory structure:

/root/pages/default.aspx
/root/App_LocalResources/default.aspx.resx
/root/App_LocalResources/default.aspx.fr.resx

using the following simple code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestLocale._Default" UICulture="auto:en-US" Culture="auto:en-US"%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" meta:resourceKey="Label1"></asp:Label> </div> </form> </body> </html>

at the resx file i have simple mapping for Label1.Text ,

The problem: for ssome reason ASP.NET can't find local resources when my default page is not at the root folder in the project,
when i place the default.aspx in the root project the localization works, when i place the default.aspx inside a folder it doesnt work
i have been searching everywhere and couldnt find how to make it work when using folders.

any kind of help would help!

thank you.

Both global and local resources are implemented using a very particular folder naming scheme that allows ASP.NET to dynamically find and compile your .Resx resources as part of the pre-compilation for the Web site.

This means that resources can be deployed easily with your application and ASP.NET will handle compilation and placement of the resource assemblies.

The scheme works with an App_GlobalResources folder at the root of the Web site and an App_LocalResources folder for each directory of the site.

You cannot change this structure because ASP.NET will not be able to locate the resources since the resources are located relative to the page that uses them. Since you are using local resources, your resources must be it a folder called App_LocalResources that is in the same directory as the web page that uses them.

Have you tried creating an App_LocalResource folder within the folder where you are moving your page to? Did you move the resources for the page into the App_LocalResource folder that is in the new folder?

Check out this article: ASP.NET Web Page Resources Overview.

Currently you are using Local Resource Files and these resource file are found relative to the page that uses them.

I think you might be interested in using Global Resource Files instead...but you should decide after reading the article.
