Hello. I have the following problem:

In a test page I have

<asp:Label ID="lblTestReso urceFiles"
runat="server"
Text=""
meta:resourceke y="String1">
</asp:Label>

Under App_GlobalResou rces I have

Scorecards.fr.r esx
and
Scorecards.resx

They contain Name = String1 and Value = This is the text in ENGLISH !
or Ceci est le texte en francais ! respectively.

In Welcome.aspx.vb I have the code:
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________
Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCultu re()
g_strWebSiteLan guage = Context.Request .Params("Lang")
If Not String.IsNullOr Empty(g_strWebS iteLanguage) Then

If g_strWebSiteLan guage = "fr-CA" Then
UICulture = g_strWebSiteLan guage
Culture = g_strWebSiteLan guage
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture =
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo.CreateSpecif icCulture(g_str WebSiteLang
uage)
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture = New
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo(g_strWebSite Language)

Else 'Default to language "en"
UICulture = "en-CA"
Culture = "en-CA"
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture =
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo.CreateSpecif icCulture("en-CA")
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture = New
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("en-CA")

End If
End If
MyBase.Initiali zeCulture()
End Sub
_______________ _______________ _______________ ______________
where g_strWebSiteLan guage is defined as public string in a module,

and the projects property pages state:

Start Action = Specific Page = Welcome.aspx?La ng=fr_CA

I am expecting to see the label change text from "This is the text in
ENGLISH !" to "Ceci est le texte en francais !" and viceversa,
depending on the parameter "LANG". However, I see none of that. What
am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.
Alex.
