How to use .net Resource files in javascript

Question

is there anyway i can access my resource files (.resx) in javascript?
if no then are there any workarounds to diplay messages in javascript in different languages?

Answer 1

Is it a separate javascript file? You can always use an asp literal to insert text into your html page (for exemple: var myString = '<asp:literal id="myLiteral" />';) and fill the literal serverside.

Answer 2

If your javascript is in the page you can use:

var globalResource = '<%= Resources.YourClass.YourResourceKey %>';

to access the Global Resources (/App_GlobalResources). Or

var localResource = '<%= GetLocalResourceObject("LocalResourceKey").ToString() %>';

to access the Local resources (/App_LocalResources relative to the page position).

Or a javascript solution may be this nice jQuery plugin.

Answer 3

i did it by using Jquery ajax which calls a serverside GetGlobalResourceObject()
