Localization on a WebMethod inside aspx page

Question

User1774701477 posted

Hello,

I have an aspx page in which I've defined a <WebMethod> to call it from javascript client side.

I have resource files to take localized strings. it works perfectly inside all the website but it doesn't work inside the <WebMethod> defined on aspx page.

If I ask for  CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DisplayName, it shows the right culture set but trying to get a string from Resources.Dictionary.MyString, it shows always the string in the default resx file instead of localized resx file.

Hi,

What if you try CultureUICulture instead? Does it use the correct value?

Hi and thanks for reply.

yes, I've fount that I have to set as first instruction of the <WebMethod>:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

It this way it seems to work, but really I don't know why....
