ASP.NET: How to pass a value to a string from a local resource?

Question

Hello,

I have created a webpage called server.aspx and the related local resource file called server.aspx.resx. In the resourcefile I defined the message "{0} is required." with the key Error.

In my .aspx page I access the string:

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ControlToValidate="textboxName" runat="server" ErrorMessage="<%$ Resources:Error %> ID="validatorName">

Now I want to pass a value, for example the name of the textbox 'Name' to the resource string, so that the errormessage is "Name is required."

Is there any possibility to pass a value to the string?

Answer 1

string message = GetFromResourceFile();
string completeMessage = string.Format(message, "Name");

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator 
    ControlToValidate="textboxName" 
    runat="server" 
    ErrorMessage="<%$ string.Format(Resources:Error, "textboxName") %> 
    ID="validatorName">
