I am using local resource strings in ASP. My strings are something like "This is a {0}"
I am using String.Format to replace the {0} value.
In anycase, rather the put this code in every page, I wanted to create a Static/Shared method that any page could call. I had thought that I could pass the page in and call the GetLocalResourceObject() method. GetLocalResourceObject() is protected so its not valid.
Is there a way to call this external to the code-behind?
Shared Function GetPatternedResourceString(Byval P as Page, ByVal key As String, ByVal replacement As String) As String
Return String.Format(p.GetLocalResourceObject(key), replacement)
End Function
I realize there are some other ways to get a local resource, I think there is one on HttpContext but you need to do some extra work and pass in url paths, etc.
This is actually the same problem listed here VB.NET: Extension method for pages that uses GetLocalResourceObject
