my web application uses a menu for the user navigation, and I need to store the menu in the database. among other properties, each menu item has a text title. But I do not want to store title strings in the database. Instead I want to use resource files to plug in the right language. I am looking for an advice on how to link the database table and the resources together. I mean, what would a store instead of the title in the database? the corresponding resource id? But this seems wrong.
I am working on website development in asp.net. where i have used Master Page concept and content page. and by using dropdownlist I am changing its language.
I have successfully used resources to translate my UI and I am now moving on to allowing the ability for the admin to translate database content.I'm looking for video tutorials / docs on database structure for localised info and how to retrieve localised data using stored procedures based on the selected culture.
I am writing extensions to a web app that doesn't need to be localized. As the company grows I believe there is a possibility that there may be some effort in the future to do this localization.Mindful of that I would like to mark all of the place that I am using country-specific date formats in an attribute on the method, for example:
For Each exception As String In exceptionDates Dim DateBits() As String = exception.Split("/") dates.Add(New Date(Integer.Parse(DateBits(2)) _
Is there a way to use user's culture to localize the Range Validator for date? I am looking for a good way to validate date and avoiding to provide a fix format (e.g.: do a dd/mm/yyyy using Regular Expression Validator)
I have a string, that could look like "123,34", "123123,09", "1234", "123.34", "123123.09"
(Stringrepresentation of 10,2 decimal that will be stored into a MySql DB)
Due to the culture of the ASP.net thread may differ, because my application supports localization, I need to find a safe way to convert the most likely user input into a decimal.
How is that possible?
I tried various Decimal.Parse attemps, that all failed so far.
Solution:
My final solution was a mixed one. I used string replace to ensure my date is formatted into the specified CultureInfo I used for parsing
How to use localized messages in javascript file in asp.net.

I'm adding support for multiple language to my site. I've found many places in my renderers that have hard-coded strings I'll need to address.
I seem to have a couple different options of fixing this... one would be to use the standard .NET approach and store strings in a resource file. I'm not liking this because my Sitecore translators can't get to that... and also because I don't think Sitecore sets the Culture by default? Which I believe is how ASP.NET knows which language to use from the resource file.
Another option would be to add fields for all these strings in my Sitecore templates so they are visible to translators in Content Editor. But this seems like a huge hassle... there are many, many places where I would have to update my templates solely to store UI element strings.
i am currently working on an asp.net mvc (.net 3.5 sp1) web app, that uses data annotations and client side validation. I would like to have localization enabled, thus i have implemented a localization mechanism for enabling site visitors select the locale they prefer, by overriding the Execute() controller action and setting the CurrentCulture appropriately (i get the culture to change to from the URL route parameters).
I tried implementing my model validation messages localization with no success. What i did was adding two resource files undeer my model App_LocalResoorces folder (one for my locale greek language Validation.el.resx and one for the default english language Validation.el.resx) and set the appropriate file properties ("Access Modifier" to "Public", "Build Action" to "Embedded Resource","CustomTool" to "PublicResXFileCodeGenerator" and "Custom Tool Namespace" to "ModelLocalRes". Then i added a RequiredFieldPrompt" name-value to both the resource files.
Then i tried modify the required validation attribute on my model's name metadata like this:
[Code]....
The problem is that i cannot get the localization working, since the error message gets displayed always for the english default locale, no matter the locale selected from the site visitor.
Trying to localize text in ASP.NET labels... want to add a ':' after the localized text. I could just add the ':' to the localized text in the resource file, but that seems silly... there should be an easy way to do this.
I got an assignment to localize the website and to store all string values into the XML file. The reason for that is to let the sys. admin to change the localized values himself by editing XML file. Should I read the content of XML file and store in the memory on application startup? I guess there's a best practice for this kind of scenario.
I have several reports that I have published to a SQL 2008 report server with parameters that are dates (DateTime format). For these parameters, a calendar icon is displayed next to the textbox to allow users to select the date via mouse. Some of my reports are used by people overseas (England), where the date format is dd.mm.yy (instead of mm/dd/yyyy).
I went to the report properties, and changed the Language property from "un-US" to "en-GB". The affect of this is that all of the dates that are displayed on my report now show the date format of [dd.mm.yy] (which is good). However, the textbox where they specify the report parameter still shows the old mm/dd/yyyy format.
Can this be changed somehow? I have looked around, but could not find a setting that would apply to this. Or is this a client-side setting (in other words, when viewed overseas, it takes the "native" date format)?
I have an ASP.Net(2.0) website which I have localized based on user's browser settings. So when a user navigates to my website, I check their browser settings and redirect them.Here's the code which I have in global.asax
My problem is that on google, my 404 error page is being cached and the error page title comes up as the search result.I think because of the way I redirect users, the search crawler gets to the error page instead of the homepage.
I am using asp .net calender control to display date...I need to convert that date format to localized date ....Already I have resource file for other content...How can I do this?
in some projects (web application projects) I'm using global resource files. (Stored in the App_GlobalResources folder)pro:Really easy to use: e.g. in the markupProperty="<%$ Resources:FILENAME, KEY %>"con: As far as I know, I can't change the content of the resources on the fly. So if a customer is calling and tells me to change a string in the french implementation, I need to deploy a new binary. While using SessionMode="InProc" that might lead to undesired behaviour, like session loss etc.
I am working on a big .NET project. I am currently creating an automated minifier for JS and CSS files using YUI compressor. After doing some research, I found that the heaviest files in the project are actually .NET resources (Like MS ajax file). They are very big and unminified.I am wondering, is there any way to minify them?
I need to find resources ( EBooks , researches..etc) that will to build a CMS using asp .net. I want to find a resource that I can make it the guide to begin the work.
In almost every ASP.NET MVC example I've come across, I always see Url.Content being used to reference CSS, JavaScript, and Images. Not once has anyone explained WHY to use it.
I tried searching, but I guess the <% $ %> triggers something on google and it turns up nothing. What is this accessing in an asp.net .aspx page? I've used the = but never a $.
