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.
etc.
To access this from the webpage use the syntax
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
