I have a simple page Default.aspx which has one asp:Literal control named
Literal1.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplicationTest.Default" culture="auto" meta:resourcekey="PageResource1" uiculture="auto" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="Hello" meta:resourcekey="Literal1Resource"></asp:Literal>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have 3 resx files: 1) Default.aspx.resx file which has Literal1Resource.Text =
Hello. 2) Default.aspx.en.resx file which has Literal1Resource.Text =
enHello. 3) Default.aspx.fr.resx file which has Literal1Resource.Text =
frHello.
In the Default.aspx.cs I override the InitializeCulture method to use the culture stored in the session. If there is no culture stored in session then use en-US as default:
protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
string culture = null;
culture = (string)Session["culture"];
culture = culture == null ? "en-Us" : culture;
this.Culture = culture;
this.UICulture = culture;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(culture);
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(culture);
base.InitializeCulture();
}
To test it I set the session value in Global.asax.cs file in Session_Start method. It is working perfect. If I set Session["culture"] = "en-US"; then the page will show
enHello. If I set Session["culture"] = "fr-FR"; then the page will show
frHello.
I feel I dont need the Default.aspx.resx file as I will always use Default.aspx.en.resx or Default.aspx.fr.resx files. So I deleted the Default.aspx.resx file. But now
it is not working. It shows Hello when I set Session["culture"] = "en-US"; or Session["culture"] = "fr-FR";
Why it is happening like this? Why I need Default.aspx.resx file when I am not going to use it?
