dataform and localization problems of autogenerated controls

Question

Hi

I have a SL application. It's localization is set (i.e. to 'pl-pl'). One of the application's pages has DataForm on it. DataForm controls are auto-generated. Every control which is auto-generated - out of a sudden - gets the default ('en-en') localization.

I can check the application's localization before and after the "OnAutoGeneratingField" event and it is proper. So why the controls are created as localized inproperly?

Answer 1

it looks like somebody made an assumption that every page should be "en-us" in SL. Now, on every page I need to manually change it:

this.Language = XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);

It is understandable that each page should look the same in designer (development time), but why at the runtime? For me it's a bug.

Answer 2

Hi,

Yes, setting the lauguage to localized language is  the current way to make it work properly. Please check:
