How to hide particular resoruce if it is empty

Question

User-715140818 posted

I am working on globalization project.We are supporting multilingual website.Based on country we have some product offers.If country is germany we don't have that offer.Now in german resource file we have resourcekey and it's value to nothing(no value).Now when we run website we are seeing that blank value.
Now I want to implement logic if metaresource key is empty just don't show on website.
For eg: I have link which gets to that offer and text to go that offer is wrapped in literal control.

</li><

a style="" href="#"> <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltGetOffer" meta:resourcekey="Offer" /></a>!</li

>

I have this key defined in resx file called abc.aspx.fr-FR.resx .

Key     value
Offer   

How can I achieve functionality to stop rendering value  if resoruce is empty.

You can use "GetLocalResourceObject" page method to lookup resouce value by it's key.

So in page_load , you can use this code:

 if (GetLocalResourceObject("Offer") == null || GetLocalResourceObject("Offer").ToString() == "")
            ltGetOffer.Visible = false;

my suggestion would be adding the meta:resource to the literal in the code behind

depending upon the country

we can read the name and value from resource file http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet1683.htm

and check if the value is empty add to meta:resource only if value exists
