Cannot use GetLocalResourceObject inside InstantiateIn

Question

I'd like to localize my aspx-page.

This should include dynamically created LinkButtons in a GridView inside of InstantiateIN

(amendment 1: implementation of the System.Web.UI.ITemplate.InstantiateIN method to manipulate the appearance of a GridView)

(amendment 2: first six lines of code added to better indicate location of other code)

But inside InstantiateIN I cannot use (see) the method GetLocalResourceObject

Solution: use a Session-Variable

Question: Why can't I use GetLocalResourceObject inside InstantiateIN?

the following happens inside InstantiateIN

public class DynamicTemplateGridViewSearch : ITemplate
{
  public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control Container)
  {
   switch (ItemType)
   {
    case ListItemType.Item:
    switch (InfoType)
    {
        case "Command":
            {
                LinkButton search_button = new LinkButton();
                search_button.ID = "search";
                search_button.CommandName = "Edit";
                //following line does not work. Error is:
                //The name 'GetLocalResourceObject' does not exist in the current context
                search_button.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("SearchButtonResource1.Text").ToString();
                //so I have to create a Session-String in Page_Load
                //which is referenced here
                search_button.Text = (string)new Page().Session["SearchText"]; // "Search";
                search_button.Click += new EventHandler(search_button_Click);
                Container.Controls.Add(search_button);

Answer 1

You haven't told where exactly InstantiateIn method is located - is it inside an custom control?

Regardless, you can use container.Page property to get reference to page object and invoke the method on it. For example,

search_button.Text = Container.Page.GetLocalResourceObject("SearchButtonResource1.Text").ToString();

BTW, session object reference can be obtained similarly or you may use current HttpContext. For example, Container.Page.Session["SearchText"] OR HttpContext.Current.Session["SearchText"]
