ASP.Net Multilingual

[Asim Qazi]

Hi All
i need to develop a multilingual s/w, i did it in ASP3.0 two years back,
The main functionality i need is to put all the interface data in XSL
Templates, make an XML packet in ASP, load XSL file transform it on server
side and pass the pure HTML on the client, now the biggest problem i m
facing is how to put runat server controls in XSL, and bind them to code
behind. PLZ HELP

Qazi,

In .NET you should use resource files and satelite assemblies to add
localication
support into your application. You would use the ResourceManager class to
read
a localized string from a satelite assembly. For additional information on
what you
need to do inorder to localize, have a look at

No you are misguided Asim. try to stop thinking about what you
had to do with ASP and start thinking ASP.NET. Particularly reasearch
the System.Globalization namespace [1]

a.. CurrentUICulture-specifies the culture for the user interface and is
used for resource file lookups.
a.. CurrentCulture-specifies the culture for data and information. It is
used to format dates, numbers, currencies and sort strings.

Check out the namespaces under System.Xml. Of course you can use XSL with
ASP.NET !!!
All you have to do is write the code on Page_Load, and directly write the
output to the Response.Output stream, after you've cleaned out all the html
from the Design view of your page.

People tend to use the "controls" features of ASp.NET so much, that they
forget that deep down, it's still nothing different than a simple web page
.... oh well ...
