Hello Bruno,
Since you mentioned that you've created local page resources through the
"Tools" --"generate local resources" menu, I think you're developing
ASP.NET 2.0 application in VS 2005. As for ASP.NET 2.0 web application, it
has provided much enhanced localization features that facilitate your work
for page localization. You have the following options to perform page
localization in ASP.NET 2.0:
1. Use local resource( in the App_LocalResour ces subdir), declaratively or
programmaticall y. And the resource items for a certain page
must be put in that page's local resource file ----- PageName.aspx.r esx
e.g. "Button1.Te xt" is a resource item's key in the page's local resource
file(in App_LocalResour ces sub folder)
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server"
Text="<%$ Resources:Butto n1.Text %>" />
or
==============
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button1.Text =
this.GetLocalRe sourceObject("B utton1.Text").T oString();
}
==============
2. Use global resource (in the App_GlobalResou rces global folder).
"App_GlobalReso urces" folder is one of the special application level
folders in ASP.NET 2.0 application which is used to store some application
scope resources and we can easily reference it in all the pages within the
same application.
e.g. # Put the message related resources in a "Messages.r esx" file in the
App_GlobalResou rces folder
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Messa ges,
Message1 %>"></asp:Label>
or
=============== =====
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
string msg1 = this.GetGlobalR esourceObject(" Messages",
"Message1").ToS tring();
Label2.Text = msg1;
}
=============== =====
3. We can use the orginal means to load resource stream and get resource
item from it as we do in ASP.NET 1.0, however, we're recommended to use
the #1 and #2 in ASP.NET 2.0. Because ASP.NET 2.0 Web application project
use dynamic compilation which is not quite easy to use embeded resources.
Therefore, for your scenario, you can consider either store the Message
key/values in a page's localResource file or in a global resource file,
this depend on whether that message values is only used by a specific page
or is reused in the whole web application.
Here are some other MSDN reference articles discussing on how to perform
localization tasks in ASP.NET 2.0 Page. You can also have a look to get
some further ideas:
