C# - Changing Where A Resource Is Pulled During Runtime?
Jun 8, 2010
I have a website that goes out to multiple clients. Sometimes a client will insist on minor changes. For reasons beyond my control, I have to comply no matter how minor the request. Usually this isn't a problem, I would just create a client specific version of the user control or page and overwrite the default one during build time or make a configuration setting to handle it.
Now that I am localizing the site, I'm curious about the best way to go about making minor wording changes.
Lets say I have a resource file called Resources.resx that has 300 resources in it. It has a resource called Continue. English value is "Continue", the French value is "Continuez".
Now one client, for whatever reason, wants it to say "Next" and "Après" and the others want to keep it the same. What is the best way to accomodate a request like this? (This is just a simple example).
The only two ways I can think of is to
Create another Resources.resx specific to the client, and replace the .dll during build time. Since I'd be completely replacing the dll, the new resource file would have to contain all 300 strings. The obvious problem being that I now have 2 resource files, each with 300 strings to maintain. Create a custom user control/page and change it to use a custom resource file. e.g. SignIn.ascx would be replaced during the build and it would pull its resources from ClientName.resx instead of Resources.resx.
Are there any other things I could try? Is there any way to change it so that the application will always look in a ClientResources.resx file for the overridden values before actually look at the specified resource file?
I need my site to be multilingual. So i have added resx to each page. Now the texts been taken from resource depends on chosen culture. Now my customer want to edit some translation from administration panel. Can resources can be edited in runtime? If they are - is it the best choise to do it that way?(Its seems to me strange i didnt see something lake that in any place)?
I'm starting with asp.net MVC 2. Very cool.I have been reading about the data annotations validation attributes that can be set on the view model properties.It's cool but I have a scenario where I need to determine at runtime whether one of the property is required or not.How can I achieve this ? I want to have client side validation enabled too.
I'm basically trying to get a div containing a loading gif to show on my page at runtime. I call it from a button click event as well as in the code flow. It was working before I used the AJAX Update Panels. I've since taken them out as they were causing issues with RegisterClientScriptBlock. By the way, does commenting out the AJAX Markup like this...
I have a site map on my project and I have section which get values from sql database and it changes according to querystring Id value. In my sitemap the title of the page is everytime same. but I want tpo change it at runtime. I am using multiple sitemaps and My sitemap is not the default one. its name is rootSitemap. I tried some code which I got from msdn but it seems doesn't work for me;
[Code]....
Here is my sitemappath code which is situated in my master page;
I started out with the following code which worked fine, no problems:
[Code]....
I've since expanded the above so that it uses different providers according to the current logged in user. Here's the code since my changes:
[Code]....
I'm not getting any error messages but when I view the web page in the browser, it is stuck in a continuous loop where the page displays (correctly), then posts back to the server and displays again.
I'm using one application but have multiple providers in my web.config for memberships, roles and profiles to allow my application to be used by different groups of users who need to connect to different databases.
This means I'm having to change the membership, role and profile providers on-the-fly in my code-behind files. So far I've taken care of the membership and roles a bit like this:
[Code]....
However, I'm having trouble finding out how to do the same sort of thing for Profiles. I've looked at ProfileProvider and ProfileManager but I can't work it out how to access my the profile property that I've created in my web.config file called "ScreenSize". Normally you would just write Profile.ScreenSize to read or write to the property.
There are cases where I have to change this query dynamically at runtime, so I do the following:
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = sql; // 'sql' is the new query GridView1.PageIndex = 0; GridView1.EditIndex = -1; GridView1.SelectedIndex = -1; GridView1.DataBind(); updatePanel.Update();
This works just fine actually, but when I click the pagination controls, the result set defaults back to the SelectCommand defined in the SqlDataSource1.
There is a page in my project named Messages.aspx that shows the messages received [but obviously], using the ListView control.
I want that the user should be able to see the body of the message on the same page [Messages.aspx] just by clicking the subject of the message, which is ofcourse a link.[Messages.aspx?msg_id=some_id]. Hence the user would actually reload the same page to read the contents of the message.
Now what I want is that I should be able to write some code that would change the <LayoutTemplate> and the <ItemTemplate> of the listview during the runtime. [in the page_load event of course]
Previously the listview would look like this:
[Code]....
After the clicks any message to read it and the page gets loaded, I want the layout of the listview to look like this.
hw can i give write permission to folder for changing the image at runtime.i have tried so many times but still confused and free hand. can some one pls give me the solution in details.
i have a dropdownlist contaning years..now i want to connect my database by dropdown selection.if i select 2013 it will connect 2013 database ,if i select 2014 it connect 2014 so on..
I am trying to track members volunteering. I have a table that has all our members information and another table I want to update what they volunteer for throughout the year. I have a ddl that they select a last name and it populates first name, last name and spouse in a formview. This all works. There are a couple of other textboxes that need to be filled out. When I try and run an update into the volunteer table I get no errors and page shows the meber was updated. However, when I go into the volunteer table, there is no data.
[Code]....
I don't understand why it is not updating into the table. Especially since I am getting no errors.
When changing the textbox's text mode to multiline the textbox becomes resizable during runtime. I can't seem to find the property to disable this, does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
I have a form that has dropdown box and user can either select Store Associate or Store Manager, when they click on either, I have GetASsociate function that pulls data from sql database. What i am trying to figure out how to do, is that if they say select Store Manager I want to filter what data to pull from that sql table that has all associates in it, so I was trying use an 'expression' statement to stay if Store Manager was selected, only pull me back the store managers from that table. Then same thing for if they selected STore Assoicate, then only bring me back teh store assocites from that table. But the expression statment does not appear to be working.

I am using a handler to pull an image from the database and I need to resize the image while maintaining the aspect ratio.I have seen a few examples, but they were all pulling the image from the filesystem and not a database. This is the code I am using inside the handler to pull the image from the database: [Code].... Can someone point me in the right direction?
In our web application we need to keep various company's settings. For eg "DiamondProdRefIDCaption","Shippingpickup","ZipCodeCaption","DefaultCountry","AllowToEditInvoice", etcThese 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
I have a custom class that pulls user information from a SQL Server table. Now that I'm expanding the site from a single page to others. I want to shift the code to the Session_Start event so that the information is always loaded when the site is accessed. How do I call my custom code from global.asax since its script and not a class.
