Question

User-375223641 posted

Hello,

I'm developing a binligual website(Arabic/English). I'm using resources files to display messages in lables like this

<asp:Label ID="lblSongs_title" runat="server" meta:resourcekey="lblSongs_titleResource1" ></asp:Label>

I need to change the labe text from code behind, but I don't know how to do this?? I tried this code

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
        System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;
        this.InitializeCulture();
        ResourceManager resman = new ResourceManager("about.resx", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
        
        lblSongs_title= resman.GetString("lblSongs_title.Text", ci);

but it did not work.

Thank you

Hi,

See if this helps.

<Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)> _Friend Shared ReadOnly Property ResourceManager() As Global.System.Resources.ResourceManagerGet If Object.ReferenceEquals(resourceMan, Nothing) Then 

resourceMan = temp 

Dim temp As Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager = New Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager("Resources.TextMessages", Global.System.Reflection.[Assembly].Load("App_GlobalResources"))

End If 

Return resourceMan

End Get  

End Property

 Private Shared resourceMgr As ResourceManager

resourceMgr = Resources.TextMessages.ResourceManager

lbl.text =resourceMgr.GetObject(name)

Hi ,

Here is sample code for you :

Button1.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("key").ToString();


GetLocalResourceObject methods do not need 2 parameters , LocalResource will get automatically get reference of resource files generated for that page.

I hope this will help you
