Question

.resx Localization not working with ASP.Net - C#

Answer 1

+7 A:

ASP.Net (specifically, the ResourceManager) uses CurrentUICulture to retrieve resources.

Try setting the Thread's CurrentUICulture as well.

CultureInfo french = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = french;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = french;
Response.Write("Current Culture is " + CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.EnglishName);
Response.Write("<br>Message is: " +  
          Resources.WebResources.ExceptionMessages_SignupWithCard);

Great, that worked, thanks, but when I place it in a button's onclick event, it doesn't maintain for the reload (displaying the .resx content in the on_load event).I guess I need to know how to change it for the session so it maintains over all my pages.Thanks.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Try setting the Page.Culture and Page.UICulture instead of the Thread Culture directly.

Since it is a string property, it appears that it wouldn't be very good. BUT, there is a lot of code going on to change not only the Threads Cultures, but the ResourceManagers too.

This seems to be the standard approach and not assigning the Thread's culture.
