How to create a multilingual application without database(.MDF file)

kka_anand — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:37:29 GMT

Hi All,

I have developed a multilingual application using asp.net (v 2.0) and it is working fine. The problem is when I generate the resource file by using Visula Studio 2005 designer surface >> Tools >> Generate Local Resource, it is generating an MDF file in the App_Data folder which i do not want to generate. I have installed SqlServer 2005 installed on my machine. so, when I run the application it works fine.

When I moved the source code to another machine/server where there is no sql server installed, the application is not working. I want the application should point to resource files not to the database. I removed the MDF file and executed the application, it's not working.

can anyone help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

How to change multiple currencies to money sql datatype?

bank5 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:37:58 GMT

I'm allowing people from multiple countries to enter prices into my web application. I need to store the value of the field as money datatype in my database.

So if someone enters: $1,234.56 the database value would be 1234.56

If someone enters: €1.234,56 the database value would be 1234.56

Or is someone enters kr 1.234 the database value would be 1234.00

Basically, I'd like to change the Globalization.Cultureinfo to "en-US" and then remove the "$". Is there an easy way to do this?

Localization in RSS Handler

CRLord — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:47:27 GMT

I have an .ashx page that I am using to create an RSS feed in .NET 3.5. I need to localize some of the text in the title and description, but I cannot see any way of doing that. It does not appear that the .ashx pages have access to the .resx files. I guess this makes sense since i doubt an RSS feed reader will pass the localization information like a browser would. Has anyone done anything to accomplish this?

Importing and exporting csv with local langauage support

jgabriel — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:42:06 GMT

I have an application which needs to support different countries, I was thinking on setting the current cultureinfo based on the user's country, would it affect the default encoding used in the streamreader/streamwriter? If not then I could just get the encoding from the cultureinfo.

But my real problem is that the users would try to open the csv file by double-clicking it, if so excel ain't reading the file correctly and doesn't correctly show for example japanese characters, another is that after they save it with excel it is converted to tab delimited, which my application doesn't support. Any idea how can I handle this. Thanks.

Globalization problem when binding decimal

tin7 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:13:05 GMT

Perhaps this is not a localization question, but I have a problem concerning globalization settings.

I'm developing a web app on my laptop using the ASP.NET Development server on XP pro with regional settings set to "en-US".

I don't have any specific Globalization section in my web config, and am not setting any globalization settings when processing the pages.

I have a formview tied through an ObjectDataSource to my database. On this formview I have a textbox which is bound to a property of type decimal.

Everything works fine, in my EditItemTemplate, the value gets displayed with a "." as my decimal separator, I can change the numeric value and do an update on the formview and the correct new value gets stored in the database.

Now for the problem... when I move this application to my Desktop PC (which also has regional settings set to "en-US", and also XP Pro SP2), and access the page through IIS, the value displayed uses a "," as the decimal separator. If I try to update the field, I get an "Input string was not in a correct format " exception, but if I change the "," to "." it works fine. This pc was initially installed with a different regional setting, so perhaps there is something leftover somewhere where it is picking up the setting from, but even so, shouldn't the bind be working both ways? How come, when it is displaying the data into the EditItemTemplate it is using one seperator, but when updating it expects another?

Another question is, where does IIS, or .NET, pick up these settings from in absence of specific globalization settings defined by the app?

If anyone can shed a light on this, please help.

Thanks,

Tin

Multiple language web site

thuhue — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:41:33 GMT

Is there somewhere a starter kit, sample template, or project that can render multiple language on a web site? The user would only need to click on one of the several buttons saying "English", "Francais", "Espanol", etc... to see the complete site rendered in the language selected. Thanks for any help.

Formatting strings - what the heck!

higgsy — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:59:55 GMT

Hi,

I'm developing a website that displays different prices and currencies for products. I'm having a problem formatting currencies from within a repeater.

As a test, i added this code to the Page_load routine...

oCurrCulture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
litPrice.Text = 99.ToString("C",oCurrCulture);

Depending on which region i have selected from a custom control on the website, the above displays:

£99 or $99 or 99€

On the same page i have a repeater, which is listing a bunch of prices, my code is like so:

protected void rptSizes_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) {

   if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)) {


       string strPrice = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "price").ToString();
       Literal oPrice = e.Item.FindControl("litItemPrice") as Literal;
       oPrice.Text = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "price").ToString("C", oCurrCulture);

   }

}

The code on the line starting oPrice.Text is exactly the same as within my page_load method, however i get the following error message:

CS1501: No overload for method 'ToString' takes '2' arguments

Can anyone help before i lose all my hair?!?!?

Thanks in advance

Localization with URL Rewriting

alvipeo — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:49:55 GMT

I haven't done in-depth research on URL Rewrite module so I wonder if it's doable...

Let's say I have some pages on my website (Default, About, etc) so their addresses will be like website.com/about.aspx. Is is possible to set up URL Rewriting (by rules or in code) so that an english version will be accessible at the link above but other languages URL's follow this pattern: website.com/language/about.aspx without having any troubles with broken links to images, CSS, etc?

Just an idea...

Thank you.
Alex

Date DropDownLists

btd1 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:37:18 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was looking at the Facebook homepage and noticed that for the English (UK) page the birthday inputs have a dropdownlist for day first, followed be a dropdownlist for month and finally a dropdownlist for year.

When you change the page to English (US) [near the bottom of the page], the inputs change order to the US format, i.e. month dropdownlist first, followed by the day and then the year.

My application already takes into account Culture settings ( for instance, when DateTime.ToString() is called- it spits out the date in the correct format). How do I get DropDownLists into the correct order depending on culture a la Facebook?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Approach to implement Multilanguage support web application in .Net 3.5.

ASP_Tech — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:45:16 GMT

Hi,

I am developing Multilanguage support for my web application I am using .Net 3.5.

I have a requirement in which, I need to update the language text directly without recompiling the solution and the language translators should be able to able to easily update the file(don’t want to use satellite assemblies feature as well)

I am thinking of using a XML file to store the language(Instead of resource file) text so that it can be updated directly.

Can anybody provide suggestions on what is the best approach to implement the above solution

Thanks in advance
