How to add localized listitems to a dropdownlist ?

[Radu]

For stuff like
<asp:CustomValidator
id="validDate"
Text="*"
ErrorMessage= "<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String66 %>"
Display="Dynamic"
OnServerValidate="ServerValidate"
runat="server">
</asp:CustomValidator>
apparently the syntax
....= "<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String66 %>"
works, but in the HTML
<asp:DropDownList
ID="cboEPSSessions"

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

>

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

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

But if I use the suggested
<asp:ListItem>
<asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Scorecards,
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:Scorecards, String103%>"></
asp:ListItem>

or

<option selected="selected" value="<%$ Resources:Scorecards,
String79%>"></option>

instead of

<asp:ListItem><%$ Resources:Scorecards, String103%></asp:ListItem>

or

<option selected="selected"><%$ Resources:Scorecards, String79%></
option>

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

Thanks again.
