I would like to use a resource file to send an email. In my resource file I used a variable "EmailConfirmation" with the value "Hello {userName} ... "
In my class I used:
public static string message (string userName)
{
return Resource.WebResource.EmailConfirmation
}
The problem is that the return says "Hello {userName}" instead of "Hello Toto".
You can't make use of string interpolation in the context of resources. However you could achieve that you want by making use of string.Format
. Write to your resource file something like this:
Hello {0}
and then use it like below:
public static string message (string userName)
{
return string.Format(Resource.WebResource.EmailConfirmation, userName);
}
Update
You can add as many parameters as you want. For instance:
Hello {0}, Confirm your email: {1}
And then you can use it as:
string.Format(Resource.WebResource.EmailConfirmation
, userName
, HtmlEncoder.Default.Encode(link))
