I have a localised ASP.net application (.net 2.0). I wish to concatenate 2 strings retrieved from the resource file together into one element, something like this.
Text="<%$ Resources:Resource, lw_name %>" + <%$ Resources:Resource, lw_required %>"
I have tried using Eval without success. Is what I am trying to do the "correct" approach or can I store strings with placeholders in the resource file and interpolate them "on the fly".
I am trying to do this in the aspx file rather than in code-behind.
ASP.NET tag attribute values that use <%$ Something: Something Else %>
are of a special syntax called ASP.NET Expressions. Using them as attribute values are pretty much all-or-nothing; there's no way to add any code into the ASPX file to manipulate what those expressions evaluate to. You'll have to do this in the code-behind.
I search for the solution so long
This code works for me:
ToolTip='<%# Resources.Global.Btn_Edit + "/" + Resources.Global.Btn_contact %>'
< asp:HyperLink ToolTip='<%# "Some Text :" + Eval("id").ToString() %>' ....../>
Do you mean something like this.... ToolTip='...' -> Convert your return values to STRING... ( xxxx.ToString() )
Like this it displays: Some Text: 1234 --> on Tooltip
so you should do something like this in your case:
Text="<%$ (Resources:Resource, lw_name).ToString() %>" + <%$ (Resources:Resource, lw_required).ToString() %>"
I don't know if it's going to work but try to conver to ToString().
I know you said you tried eval but what about something like this:
Text='<%# string.Format("{0}{1}",Eval("lw_name"),Eval("lw_required")) %>'
I was having the same issue, and I solved it by using this option instead:
Text="<%= HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource", "lw_name") %> <%= HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource", "lw_required") %>"
For local Resources, use the GetLocalResourceObject method instead of GetGlobalResourceObject
Try
"@(Resources.ResourceString + Resources.ResourceString)"
Use this method to append 2 strings in ASPX.
Text='<%# String.Format("{0} {1}",
Resources.file01.string1,Resources.file01.string2)%>'
