WebApplication Localization with satellite assemblies

Hi,

I localized an ASP.Net web application with resx files in App_GlobalResources and it worked quite well. I could get resources from code behind and from markup with explicit (like this : <%$ Resources:Resource1, MyString1 %>)

Now, I am trying to embed resources into satellite assemblies. For each resource file, I set Embedded Resource in visual studio IDE, it works well in the code behind but I can't figure out how to get the resources from satellite assemblies from within the markup.

I googled this and I found only web sites talking about resources called from satellite assemblies from within code behind.

Is there a way to get resources from markup with satellite assemblies?

Thanks for your help

Have you marked the resx's default Access Modifier to public? It defaults to Internal.

Take a squizz at this[^] and seach for "Now set the access modifier to public" the rest of the article is irrelevant.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, the modifier was already set to public. Following the page sample you provided me, I was able to localize a value in the markup but this only worked outside of asp.net controls.

An example will be clearer I think ;). Assuming I have a localized string MarkupText in a resource file Resource2 :


<div>

<%= Resources.Resource2.MarkupText %>


<asp:Label runat="server" ID="label1" Text="<%=Resources.Resource2.MarkupText%>"/>


<asp:Label runat="server" ID="label2" Text="<%$Resources:Resource2,MarkupText%>"/>

</div>

Why can't I use <%$... %> notation like in resx version ?

Try Changing the first one to Text="<%= Resources....." note the extra space, I've found it a bit finnicky. The second one has a "," instead of "." after Resource2, please check this isn't a typo.

I tried
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox1" Text="<%= WebApplication.Resource2.Markup1 %>" />

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox2" Text="<%= Resource2.Markup1 %>" />

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox3" Text="<%$ Resources:Resource2.Markup1 %>" />

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox4" Text="<%$ Resources:Resource2, Markup1 %>" />

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox5" Text="<%$ Resources:WebApplication.Resource2, Markup1 %>" />

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox6" Text="<%$ Resources:WebApplication.Resource2.Markup1 %>" />

None of them worked.
