Question

ASP.NET - why is the default resx file being used in the code-behind when the localized one is being used by the markup?

Answer 1

A:

Are you certain that this specific resource (CompanyLocationsFormat) exists in the french resources file? If a resource is missing, it will fall back to the default one.

Hi Dan, yes, I've checked that this resource is in the french resources file. The problem is not confined to this single resource item - it is occuring for any resource value I try to access from within the C# code. In the bin directory, there is a /fr directory containing a .resources.dll file.I have noticed that the Resources.fr.Designer.cs file is empty - is this normal?

@Jon - That could be the issue; I'm not certainly how you're accessing the resources in the view, but that may use a different method than the strongly-typed wrapper that the designer creates around the resource file.

Answer 2

A:

Do you have this in your <system.web> section in web.config?

<globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" />

Thanks Antony, I didn't have that in (though it was in the <%@Page %> directives on each page. I added it to the web.config, but it didn't make any difference.

have you got both resx files set to the same namespace?

Antony Scott 2010-07-16 10:02:24

There doesn't look to be a namespace in the .resx files (apart from the www.w3.org namespace which is the same in both). Only the default resource has a .Designer.cs file - the .fr.resx has no C# code file.

Jon 2010-07-16 11:15:03

in the properties of the resx (View | Properties) you can set the namespace.
