want to create and use resource file in my application (VB.NET 2008). Can i use .resx file or should i convert it into .resources file? please tel me the steps to create and use resource file in VB.NET with sample code.
View 1 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

View 3 RepliesI have written a smal HtmlHelper, but the thing is that I whould require some javascript functionallity to this helper. So I thought "Whouldnt it be great to actually let the framework add the javascript <script>-tag to the head-element of my Html document once I use this helper?"
So what I whould need/like to do is:
1. Add the Javascript-file as a resource to the dll, since this will allow me to always have the javascript file together with my HtmlHelper, so I dont need to have a seperate file for the js.
2. Add a <script src="{my js-resource}" /> to the head-element of my html document as soon as I use my helper...this is kind of the tricky part..since Im not realy sure about how to do this in MVC...if its even possible..the best sulotion whould be if I didnt need to add any other code in any other file then just in my HtmlHelper...(no code needed to be added in my views or controls) To put it all kind of simple...from what I recall..I want to more or less register a start up script, as its called in WebForms..but in MVC..(I saw an example of how to do it ClientScriptManager, but that whould require me to add extra code on my views and layout/masterpage-files...which simply doesnt do it for me if there is any other way)

Does it make sense if I create my own resource.xml to store things like strings/labels/messages that will be used in the web application?
or are their drawbacks and its better if I just use the Global resources .resx files that are 'built-in' ?
I have a class library and was to add a resource file to it to support both English and Spanish. Any tips as how I can do this? The language will be dictated by the user visiting the site. Would like to have to only load each resource file once and cache or set in static variable and avoid any overheads.

View 1 RepliesIn 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

View 2 RepliesI am working on a new project using ASP.NET 4 and I have a few Resource Files.However, I also have resources on a SQL database. I would like to somehow create a common resource provider.I would like to be able to use:
Resources.Labels.Email > This would take the resource Email from file Labels.
Resources.Database("Email") > This would take the resource with name "Email" from the database.When I get a resource from the database I always return the Name, Content and MimeType.To avoid multiple requests I could even have another method like:
Resources.Database(new List<String> { "Email", "Address" }) > This would take the resources with name "Email" and "Address" from the database in one request.I am not sure if this would be possible ... Basically I would need to have something like:
Resources.Database.Load(new List<String> { "Email", "Address" }); And then use: Resources.Database("Email");
And even have one more:Resources.Config("Email") > This would take the resource with name "Email" from th web.config file. Always a String.I have all the code with communication with the database and web.config.The main problem is really how to create this resource interface.
In ASP.NET I'd like to create a link which points to a specific Uri and send this link in an email to a user, for instance something like http://www.BlaBla.com/CustomerPortal/Order/9876. I can create the second part of the Uri /CustomerPortal/Order/9876 dynamically in code-behind. My question is: How can I create the base Uri http://www.BlaBla.com without hardcoding it in my application? Basically I want to have something like:
http://localhost:1234/CustomerPortal/Order/9876 (on my development machine)
http://testserver/CustomerPortal/Order/9876 (on an internal test server)
http://www.BlaBla.com/CustomerPortal/Order/9876 (on the production server)

View 1 RepliesI'm using labels with resource keys. Right now i made a control, with also a lot of resource key's in it, i thought the page where i put the control in would read the resources, but it wont. So 2 solutions needed.
The nicest thing would be if i could 'bind' the resourcefile to the ascx file. But how?
Otherwise i need to get the values to the ascx file, but how can i do that?
How can i get the value of the resource file, of course het sould auto select the correct language resx file. With this it works:
<asp:Label ID="lblHeaderClickCategory" runat="server" Text="lblHeaderClickCategory"
meta:resourcekey="lblHeaderClickCategory" Visible="false" />
But its quite stupit to need a label to get the value, it shoudl be possible by code.

View 1 RepliesHow to view .resx resource files, which are under app_globalresources.
We have a project with lot of resource files.
my asp.net site uses resource files for a referenced project with the user controls in it.
so i have one website project, and one dll project with usercontrols + the resource files.
The website references the dll project.
So far so good.
When i publish, the dll with the usercontrols gets compiled in a dll (what else) but the resource files also get compiled (a separate dll for every language)
Is there a way to edit the resource strings in the dll once deployed?
is it posible to use a url.action in a resource file?
when i try i get junk instead of a real link?
I try to use internationalization in MVC but I can not make the resource strings public to my application.If I follow Steve Sanderson then I have to create a resource file and enter my strings. But in the window to enter the strings I can not choose the drop down to change the modifier because it is inactive (grey).
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a CMS system which uses a resource file to get information and errormessages from. The client side validation is working without problems, only it's not getting the errormessage from the resource file. While debugging i figured out xval seems to get the errormessages from a javascript file where the messages are set hard-coded. Is there some way to override this?
Below the code which should make the relation to the resourcefile en specify the error when the field is left empty.

View 17 RepliesQuestion: Is it possible to embed .skin files as a resource?
I am creating a library of user controls(grids, buttons, etc.) that are common among all of our web projects. I have included several common javascript files used by the controls by adding them as an embedded resource and registering them as a resource using RegisterClientScriptResource. Everything works great.
However, the last thing I would like to do is embed skin files in this project so that all the controls have the same look. I know I can control look solely with css, but I would like to control some of the other asp attributes as well(ie AllowSorting and AllowPaging attributes of a grid). Is it possible to embed skin files as a resource? Or will each individial project need a copy of the skin file? If anyone could provide insight on how I can go about embedding a skin file..
I have a question about javascript. In my project, there are embedded and non-embedded javascript codes. And i did localization of the embedded codes like below and it works.
CN.DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
strings : {
year: '<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource", "YEAR") %>'
But, this method does not work for non-embedded javascript codes. How can i do localization for them?
How can i use the .net Default folder App_GlobalResources Folder to store a Resource file which contains all the Page names?
