Localization - Concatenating Text In .NET Localized Label?
Jun 2, 2010
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 am trying to find the best way to concatenate two strings and set the result to the text property of a label during design time.Here is what is not working:
I have Text="<%$Resources:labels, btnLinkNoText%>" and Text='<%# Bind("ProductID") %>' I want Text="<%$Resources:labels, btnLinkNoText%>" + Text='<%# Bind("ProductID") %>'
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.
Im using LINQ2SQL and i have an object called Article. Its has 2 properties FinishText and SwedishText. The idea is to let the user choose language. Swedish is default.
I bind the objects to a listView and there is a label that takes the swedish language. When the user presses the Finish flag button i want the objects to reload and the finish text to show instead of the swedish. The problem is that the text label is bound to the SwedishText property in the mark up like this:
I can think of some ways to solve this, and i have one that doesnt work that well. My question is, what would be a good way to solve this? Im not so experienced so i know that there are lots of you out there that know how to do this much better.
Another problem i dont like my solution to is when i have an object that has a association with my Article object, like ArticleCategory. The ArticleCategoryId of my Article is, lets say 31, which is corresponds to the category "Movies". I dont want to display the category id but rather the name of the category itself (Movies).
So this is what i do: <%#GetCategoryNameFromId(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Article_Id"))%>
I call a method that recreates the artice object and from there creates the ArticleCategory and gets the name from it. Its a horrible solution cause it involves lots of trips to the Database. Especially since i do similar things with other properties.
Just wanted to hear what is a proper and good way to deal with these common but for me new tasks.
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?
Anyone have this problem. When you write a ex. label name or label text in the properties window, it look like its updating the text before you actually are finish. This make you type over what you allready wrote. Its not a big problem,
site that is multilingual.I am using a database to store the text I have a translation object that loads the correct language using session variables.I recently found that on google.fr for example,only the english text is referenced and no french text at all.
i am facing a problem to change the date format in label.
i get the date from database with format("yyyy-MM-dd")
[Code]....
however, when it display to the label, it change to different date format because it follow the date format which is set in control panel. how to make the date display in label to a fix format? i want the date format ("yyyy-MM-dd"). the below coding is fail.lbl_approval_approve_date.Text = Format(lbl_approval_approve_date.Text, "yyyy-MM-dd") the date will display in excel which i generate it to report viewer.
I have Template fields configured for Gridview. The gridview is using an objectdatabsource to bind itself. I have the gridview configured to use Templatefields which then contain tables to display the information. This works fine.
My question is, is it possible to change the text of the label if certain criteria is reached. If "NumberOfDwellings" is 1 then change the label to read, "1 Dwelling". Where-as if NumberOfDwellings has more than one then it's "3 Dwellings".
I have been messing about with this for hours surely this should be an easy task ....... I have a stored procedured that creates a invoice on a Quotetable one of the parameters is a output parameter Invoice Number this is passed to a label. (Label1) This works great.
I then need to add items to the invoice on a item table so my next stored procedure should take the value of Label1 and update the foreign key quotenumber on the itemtable with the value from label1.
On the aspx page I have a small section for a gridview which shows the current quote with however many items on it using the control
[Code]....
On the ASP page the control for @Quotenumber = Label1 but I get the following error
'Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'Label' to data type int.'
Is it possible to display or hide a label based on the text rendered in it?
I have a label that will display the value of a control on the previous page. If the value rendered is "0" then I want to hide the label or hide the label and one more label associated with it. (or if the value is more than "0" make it visible.
My problem is when a label's text property has a value without space and bigger than it's width property. -Mostly when i enter a link url- The text of label exceeds the width of label!
I have an urgent issue with US datetime, in my application I am tring to achieve the following:
1. Enter a datetime in a text box in web form 1 2. Show the date time in the label in the web form 2 3. In web form 2, create a dropdownlist to get a nearest date from database (datatype = DateTime in dd/MM/yyyy) to the date entered from step 1.
In step 1, I am only allowed to enter the date time in US style in text box and I have tried manything like:
- Insert <globalization culture="auto:en-GB" uiCulture="auto:en-GB"/> in web.config - Set above culture on page webform 1 and 2
I am based in UK, PC reginal and datetime setting are UK dd/MM/yyyy, sql database is in UK.
I have an asp page with a textboxes, labels and other controls. I cannot get the .text to change in any of these controls. I click on button which I execute code that I expect to update the text but it doesn't work. Something like Textbox1.text = "Hello" Are there page level properties/settings I should look at? I am perplexed an looking for a place to start. I will provide more information as needed. I just don't know where to start.
I have a form where users enter information in a multi-line text box. This could be anything, such as bullets, carriage return line feeds, etc. Think of anything that you might copy and paste into a multi-line text box from Word Pad, or Word. I then store this information into a SQL Server NText field.When I retreive this information, I need to display it as the user entered it into the text box field into a Literal or Label control (or something else if there is a better alternative) to display it. Problem is that when I display this text into the Text property of a Literal control everything is jumbled and all characters (bullets) are lost, no carriage returns, etc. One big mush of stuff. If I display this information in the Text property of Label control, I get the bullet characters, but no carriage returns
I have a page with two textboxes (one for english and one for korean)..
I want users to be able to enter an english word or enter a korean word...
Now I can only enter english in both of them... Even if my keyboard language is switched to Korean.. I can not type in Korean in the Korean text box....
I thought I could simply change this using something like:

I am working on globalization project.In my search.aspx page I have PagedGridview.I has property called EmptyDataText which is set to "NoResults".(EmptyDataText="No Results")
How can I translate "No Results" Within EmptyDataText?I tried to create key both global and local resource file.
In my local resource I tried in search.aspx.fr-FR.resx I have key called Search and its value is No Resu'dfd .Then in gridview I tried like
as i am working with global resources. however this does not work as the button.text is filled with '<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("Lokalisierung", "resSubmit")%>' (without '').
note: 'Lokalisierung.resx' is my resource file already existing and perfectly working for other "things" here.
