Globalization/localization help needed

Question

User765438783 posted

Hi Friends,

I am new (zero) to globalization/localization concept.

I need your help.

I did go through a lot of examples, but I could not make my web application work :(

1) Creating Resource files (French)

File name: LangueResource.fr-CA.resx

Key & Value: WelcomeMessage & Bonjour

2) Binding control with the ResouceKey in Design

<form id="form1" runat="server">
 <table>
  <tr>
   <td>
    <asp:label id="lbl" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:LangueResource, WelcomeMessage%">     
    </asp:label>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</form>

3) Setting the Culture & UICulture in Code behind

// The following namespaces were added
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    protected override void InitializeCulture()
    {
        base.InitializeCulture();
        
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-CA");
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-CA");
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

I don't know what else I missed here, but I don't see any thing on my web page, when I try to run it.

Please advise.

Thank you very much!

Disregard, What I just said. It seems to work, not sure though!

Actually, I have deployed this website on the Server.

I have mapped the project folder(shared folder) to my computer.

When I open the website in Visual Studio from the shared folder and run the website, it works fine.

But, when I browse deployed website through URL directly, it does not work.

I get the below error message:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.
