  Change vb.net website language from button event

  Aug 14, 2011 11:11 AM|LINK

  Hi all,
  
  I added to my website in vb.net a LocalResource with a translated content in .resx archives. The translation works properly based on the browser language but i want to change the language from the same page. For this I added the following code in the button event:
  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR")
  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR")
  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr")
  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr") 
  
  It does not work, the page stills with the same language.
  
  
  Anyone know how I can change it?

  
  
  Thank you in advance.

  Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.

  Hi,

  The problem was that i can't put "Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()" in the master page, therefore, i have to put initializeculture in all the aspx pages?

  You can do as follow:

  1. Put button "Change language" to master page.

  2. Put handler that get button event of master page to your .aspx page

  3. Put in the handler you code for change culture.

  I believe you easily can find sample of getting event from master page on asp.net learn chapters
