ASP.Net 2.0 App_LocalResources subfolders

[Guest]

Hello,
Here is the scenario I need wome help with.
An ASP.Net 2.0 web application with the following structure and content:
Root
Root/App_LocalResources
Root/App_LocalResources/MyControl.ascx.resx

Root/Controls/MyControl.ascx
Root/Controls/MyControl.ascx.cs

I would like to use a localized value from the resx file in the My Control.
The code I use is
<asp:Literal id="SomeId" runat="server" text="<%$ Resources: MyString"%>"/>

where MyString is the the key of an entry in the MyControl.ascx.resx file.

The same code works well if the control is in the root folder. The moment I
move it into a subfolder it stops working. I tried to move the resource file
under a similar subfolder under App_LocalResources but with no success. Any
sample or mention of resource utilization from MS shows only pages hosted
under the root web.

I would appreciate if somebody can shed some light on the rules governing
the new structure. It was a lot easier in ASP.Net 1.1.

Thank you

ASP.Net 2.0 App_LocalResources subfolders...SOLVED!

Ok, I also ran into same problem, wanted to localize pages contained in subfolders, however, adding the matching subfolders to App_LocalResouces did not work. I did bunch of searching, still no answers, and by accident found the solution, hope this helps:

~/App_LocalResources/Default1.aspx.resx
~/Default1.aspx.resx

~/SubFolder/Default2.aspx.resx
~/SubFolder/App_LocalResources/Default2.aspx.resx

So, you need to create App_LocalResources folder, inside each subfolder, and localization works.

Hi,
I think the “Localizing Web Applications with ASP.NET 2.0” article on
http://aspalliance.com/868_Localizing_Web_Applications_with_ASPNET_20.all
may be helpful in this discussion.

This popular white paper is written by a software engineer from our organization Mindfire Solutions (http://www.mindfiresolutions.com).

I hope you find it useful!

Cheers,
