I have a Literal control (I also tried it with a label control).
This control should display a message in the appropiate language.
What have I done now:
in my resource files I have defined a key named: "ltrlMailError"
in each resource files I say in the appropiate language that there has been a mail problem.
Now in my code behind, when I detect that a mail error has occurred, I thought I could just assign a text to this Literal control like so:
ltrlStatus.Text =
"""<%$ Resources:lblMailError %>"""
OR like:
ltrlStatus.Text = "<%$ Resources:lblMailError %>"
But that doesnt work....(i've been playing around with the Mode attribute of the Literal control too, but still no luck....
How can I solve this localized error message problem?
Thanks!
please mark answers as 'Answered' and post back solutions when you figure stuff out that isnt in the post already.
You can't put markup in your codebehind. You'll have to use C# code if you want to assign it from resources. For this you use the
ResourceManager class. Just as so:
Wow! absolutely great! I knew those guys at MS would have thought of this ;)

ltrlStatus.Text = ResourceManager.GetString("lblMailError");That's it. Good luck!Member
