I'm using asp.net global resource to try and implement a two language website, I added a simple resource in the global resource file called en-Us.resx that contains:
Password | Text
Email | Text
then implemented it to a textbox within the default page:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="loginEmail" Text="<%$ Resources:en-US, Email %>"
></asp:TextBox>
but when ever I run the page on localhost I get this error:
The resource object with key '' was not found
I am using asp.net 4.0, what is the problem?
The format of resource files are ResourceName.culture.resx
Create a resource file in the App_GlobalResources folder called
Main.resx. This is for the default culture ( ie Invariant )
Then create a resource file Main.en-US.resx
This is where all the resources for en-US culture will live, and so on.
Main.resx
Main.en.resx
Main.en-US-resx
Main.en-AU.resx
Main.fr.resx
Main.fr-FR.resx
etc.
To access this from the webpage use the syntax
<%$ Resources:Main, Email %>
Don't worry around the culture, the system will work it out. It will exact match first ( en-US ), then work up to that's cultures parent ( en ), parent's parent ( Invariant ).
Change the name of "Main" to suit your needs
