What have you tried so far?
Are you Sure you want to use resx files?
Using resx files seems to be way too low level for most applications.

Karunajo I have no idea how to help you without doing research on the topic.

I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to resx files.
I'm researching them now. If I had known about them before it could have saved me a lot of time creating my own resource objects (mainly for languages).

Could you explain exactly what you want to do so that I can help you do the research on using resx files?

It seems to me that they are mainly used for implementing multiple languages. Are you having problems with this?

Thanks!

Karunajo,

Check out this article supplied by MSDN on ASP.NET web page resources.

Specifically look at the section Implicit Localization in Templates. Its near the bottom of the article.

Does this help you?

I have been researching your problem in my spare for the last 2 days.
I don't think it is possible to do what you want because resx files are compiled much the same as ASP.NET files are compiled at runtime. This means that they are not in XML format when they are being used...so I don't think you can display them...I especially don't think that you can edit them...not in a DataGrid nor any other control.

Karunajo,

Could you please explain why you are trying to let your web users edit the .resx files for your website.

There may be a way around this problem if you explain what you are trying to do exactly.

When you change the label you should open the resx file in the XML Designer (If you are using Visual Studio 2005 just double click on the resx file), Find the name of the Label and change the value.

You cannot edit a resx file during run time because it is compiled much the same as an ASPX page is compiled by ASP.NET. You have to edit this file during development.

Are you having problems viewing the resx file in Visual Studio?
Are you using Visual Studio 2005?

This thread confuses me. My resx files are always empty. I very rarely add multimedia content into them.
Guess I'm just plain jane here, but wouldn't you want to be using the SETTINGS (under the properties folder)? That's where I keep things. Like UI color settings, connection strings and other usefull nuinsances

Are you designing a site that lets the user develop their own website?
I don't quite understand how the user can change the name of a label.
You've probably already seen this site (I think I've thrown this link to you aready by now) but I keep looking up resx files and I keep finding the information here useful in understanding resx files...

MSDN's Article on Resources in .Resx File Format

Could you explain what your project is supposed to do?

You should be able to just use Visual Studio. It has a resx editor built in.

[karunajo]

How to use it..Is it able to edit on runtime..

You are aware that that is a tremendus security flaw right?

[Frinavale]

You can't edit them at runtime.
They are compiled into binary which your system then uses.
It's impossible.

All you do is open your project and double click on the resx file...it will open and show you 3 columns Name, Value, and Comments. Look up (or add) the name of your label in the resx file and then add the value that's supposed to appear in the label.

Unless of course, you're using a satellite assembly?

Please do not double post your questions. You have already started a thread about resx files. You do not need to start another about the same topic. Please do not do this again. You also need to read the Posting Guidelines located at the top of your page under the Help link.

EDIT: I'm merging all of your threads on this topic into one topic. If you have any more questions about resx files you can use this thread. You do not need to make another thread unless you have a separate topic.

This just occurred to me,

Are you trying to change the text inside a label??? (not the name of the label, just the text in the label)

Do you just want to change the text that the label displays based on what is in the resx file according to some user selection?

[karunajo]

I did it in design time..I need resx editor in web version.I did search in net but i got only in windows version..plz help me..

[Plater]

I think the help you need is not something you can find here for this particular question.
I think the help you need is a new design outlook, i.e. a different way to accomplish the goal you desire

[karunajo]
