localization website vb with on click flag

Question

User420957388 posted

 hi , 

I am working in making a multi_language site with vb.net just by  clicking on the flag of country. So  I started by adding  in my app_localressources  the files resx coding in my master page the following code: 

Protected Sub ImageButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButton1.Click
Dim selectedLanguage As String
selectedLanguage = "en-US"
   
Dim cookie As New HttpCookie("CultureInfo")

 cookie.Value = selectedLanguage
  Response.Cookies.Add(cookie)

  Response.redirect(Request.Path)
End Sub




Protected Sub ImageButton2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButton2.Click
Dim selectedLanguage As String
selectedLanguage = "fr-FR"
   
Dim cookie As New HttpCookie("CultureInfo")

 cookie.Value = selectedLanguage
  Response.Cookies.Add(cookie)

  Response.redirect(Request.Path)
End Sub
  for the default page code:

Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()

    Dim cookie As HttpCookie = Request.Cookies("CultureInfo")

If (Not (cookie.Value Is Nothing)) Then


Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cookie.Value)
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo(cookie.Value)
Else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr-FR")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")

   
End If

MyBase.InitializeCulture()


  End Sub.

when i run it , an error :Handles clause requires WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its basic types.(but it make the translation when i just select on flags :this way when i forced him to ignore the error ).

can someone have an idea of this problem ?

here my page aspx:

Partial Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

   
    Protected WithEvents ImageButton1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
    Protected WithEvents ImageButton2 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub
    

    Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()

        'Dim session
        Dim cookie As HttpCookie


        cookie = Request.Cookies("CultureInfo")

        Try

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cookie.Value)
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo(cookie.Value)


        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

hi ignatandrei,

 i have the control image in my masterpage.master and just by clicking on the flag image on the masterpage, i will see the result in the other pages like default.aspx.

 i have my control in  the masterpage.master so it is declared :

<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" AlternateText="English"
Height="19px" ImageUrl="~/images/english.PNG" style="margin-left: 5px" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" runat="server" Height="21px"
ImageUrl="~/images/france.PNG" Width="26px" />

have the control image in my masterpage.master

SO I think then your code should be in master, not in default ..
