How do I concatenate 2 resource strings together in an aspx page

Question

I have a localised ASP.net application (.net 2.0). I wish to concatenate 2 strings retrieved from the resource file together into one element, something like this.

Text="<%$ Resources:Resource, lw_name %>" + <%$ Resources:Resource, lw_required %>"

I have tried using Eval without success. Is what I am trying to do the "correct" approach or can I store strings with placeholders in the resource file and interpolate them "on the fly".

I am trying to do this in the aspx file rather than in code-behind.

Answer 1

ASP.NET tag attribute values that use <%$ Something: Something Else %> are of a special syntax called ASP.NET Expressions. Using them as attribute values are pretty much all-or-nothing; there's no way to add any code into the ASPX file to manipulate what those expressions evaluate to. You'll have to do this in the code-behind.
