How to add localized listitems to a dropdownlist ?

[Radu]

For stuff like
<asp:CustomVali dator
id="validDate"
Text="*"
ErrorMessage= "<%$ Resources:Score cards, String66 %>"
Display="Dynami c"
OnServerValidat e="ServerValida te"
runat="server">
</asp:CustomValid ator>
apparently the syntax
....= "<%$ Resources:Score cards, String66 %>"
works, but in the HTML
<asp:DropDownLi st
ID="cboEPSSessi ons"

runat="server"
ToolTip="<%$ Resources:Score cards, String68 %>"

>

<asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String103%></
asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String104%></
asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String105%></
asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownLis t>
my syntax doesn't work anymore at all.

I have the error:
Literal expressions like '<%$ Resources:Score cards, String103%>' are
not allowed.
Use <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Score cards,
String103%>" /instead.

But if I use the suggested
<asp:ListItem >
<asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Score cards,
String63%>" />
</asp:ListItem>
instead, I get the error
Element 'Literal' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site.

So then, my question is: How to add localized listitems to a
dropdownlist ?

Thank you.

As another user said in some thread, the best way to solve a problem
is to post the question here - you don't event need to have it
answered - the moment you hit the "post" button, you realize how
simple the answer was, and how blind you have been.

In other words, it's as simple as:
<asp:ListItem Text="<%$ Resources:Score cards, String103%>"></
asp:ListItem>

or

<option selected="selec ted" value="<%$ Resources:Score cards,
String79%>"></option>

instead of

<asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String103%></asp:ListItem>

or

<option selected="selec ted"><%$ Resources:Score cards, String79%></
option>

I am sorry for not having an option to withdraw a question.

Thanks again.
