  DB Resource Provider implemented, meta:resourcekey not functioning correctly

  Feb 08, 2012 05:10 AM|LINK

  Hello all,

  I developed my own DB Resource Provider which is working great on it's own. 

  When I started implementing it in a test page I noticed that it works fine when I use explicit expressions:

  <asp:Label ID="litNetImp" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources: testdata %>"></asp:Label>

  but it doesn't work when I use implicit expressions:

  <asp:Label ID="litNetImp" runat="server" Text="testdata" meta:resourcekey="testdata"></asp:Label>

  I stepped through every line of code and while the implicit does create the provider & reader (so it understands it needs translation), it does not call GetObject() for the translation lookup. Any idea why? GetObject() is called correctly when I use explicit expressions and there seems to be no difference other than that call.

  Thanks!

  Found the solution as per this thread: http://forums.asp.net/t/1397788.aspx/1

  Implicit keys must end in '.Text' to function - I didn't see this in the documentation (though it might be there, not going to check).
