i would like to Load a Lcalized CSS and i have a Masterpage
i am trying to do something like...
1. Get the Client Locale (which i do on the global.asax onSession_Start event)
2. get the right CSS file for this local (since my website supports both RTL and LTR layout)
the CSS should be i.e. webpage.en-US.css (or similar) if the Client Local is en-US and if its he-IL it should be webpage.he-IL.css.
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.
<asp:Label id="RoleTypeLabel" runat="server" Text='<%$ Resources: GS3, RoleTypeLabel %>:' AssociatedControlID="RoleTypeDropDown"></asp:Label>
(note the ':' at the end of Text='...')
Of course, this doesn't work... and neither does anything I can think of to concatenate a ':' onto the end of the localized text.
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
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string localeName = ResourceHelper.GetCulture();
string refUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString();[code]....
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 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 designed a multilanguage site. When I click languages at home, but the remaining pages does not change the language at the same time (not related to the database, just change the text of the controls). What function should I use to load all of the project.
View 4 RepliesI am working on a application which supports multiple languages and I am doing it using asp.net resources files. Now the problem is, its a product and each user wants to have their own translations.For Example there is a text say "Home"Some users want to say it "Home Page" and some wants to say "Main Page"
Is there any possibility to do create different resource files, for each users, for each page and then load them according to the user currently logged in?

I'm having difficulties getting XslCompiledTransform.Load method to take a server path. I googled around and found that I need to do something like:
xslt.Load(System.Web.HttpContext.Server.MapPath(xslPath), XsltSettings.Default, new XmlUrlResolver());
But it returned an error saying HttpContext is null.
I also tried:
xslt.Load(System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(xslPath), XsltSettings.Default, new XmlUrlResolver());
That also returned an error saying an object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(string)'
The xslPath has a path that points to a xsl file in Sharepoint Web. I just want XslCompiledTransform to load the xsl file with the server path. Is it possible? If so, what is the proper way or hackish way of doing it?
EDIT: I have access to a SPWeb object which contains the path to the xsl file. However when I check the ServerRelativeUrl, it just says "/MyTree/xsl.xsl". The problem here is I couldn't get the XslCompiledTransform.Load to load the file from SharePoint list.
In ASP.NET which is better performance wise;
Localization using the file based resx / resource system
Localization by retrieving translations from a database
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.
View 1 RepliesI 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)
View 2 RepliesWe are migrating the VB6 applications into VB.NET (2008). They implemented the globalization in the Vb6 application by storing the english strings and corresponding langauage text (italian,spanish or french) in Database(SQL). Now we need to create a resource file in VB.NET(2008) for each language. Instead of creating resource file manually we want to write an application which will create resource file dynamically for each language and copy the english string and correspoding language text value from database into resource file.
SLNo Language English Value
1 English Name Name
2 Italian Name Nome
3 Spanish Name nombre
In my project i add a reference of one dll and it has some resource files(.resources). Also my project has some resource files with the same language name(Spanish, french and Germany). Also i think we can't add the two resource file for one language. Now how can i mangage both the resource files?
View 1 RepliesI am reading a CSV file created by Excel. the string I am reading needs to be encoded (it shows small boxes instead of hebrew characters) so I wrote a lil routine to convert the string -
Function encodeName(ByVal name As String) As String
Dim src As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
Dim dest As Encoding = Encoding.Default
Dim srcBytes() As Byte
srcBytes = src.GetBytes(name)
Dim asciiBytes() As Byte = Encoding.Convert(src, dest, srcBytes)
Dim mychars(dest.GetCharCount(asciiBytes) - 1) As Char
dest.GetChars(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length, mychars, 0)
Dim asciiString As New String(mychars)
End Function
From what I read FileStream.ReadLine reads the text with encoding UTF8 so I try to convert from UTF8 to Encoding.Default buy instead of little boxes I get question marks.
I have 163 .resx files. I want to count the words in these files, because my want to translate the sentences (my task is the localisation).
Now I'm opening each file in Ms Visual Studio and I count words manually. How can I count words in all files? And the second question: can I use a program what grab strings from .resx into an editor where I can translate them and save bacn into .resx files? Or must open the files one by one and edit the text fields manually?
need to bind a resource file using system culture info. Say for example, if my system culture is Spanish(Spain) "es-ES" then i have to look for "es-ES" resource file to bind. If it is not there then i have to bind with default resource file ('en-US"). How to do this?
View 3 RepliesIn our web application we need to keep various company's settings. For eg "Shippingpickup","ZipCodeCaption","DefaultCountry","AllowToEditInvoice", etc
These settings are different for various companies and are placed in web.config as key-value pair.
Initially, we have tried do simplify this process by adding a company_settings table in the DB so as to allow us to add companies on the fly. However, this method makes it very difficult to add a new setting since it would require us to add a column to the company_settings table and thus would require code changes as well as stored procedure changes.
Now we have added separate global resource files for each company's settings. But, whenever we want to add new company to our website, we need to add a new resource file for that company. Adding a resource file requires compilation, and thus the application needs to be restarted. I was wondering if there is a way that we can add a new resource file dynamically at run-time.
Or are resource files not the right thing to use here? Is there a better method of tackling this issue?
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
