Getting text from the Resource file in asp.net 4


i have an asp.net webpage, which contains a label, now i want to get the text property of the label from the localresource file, i have a .resx file under App_LocalResources folder, which contains Name as UserNameLabel.Text and Value as User Name now in my aspx file i am using Label control like this

<asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" resourcekey="UserNameLabel"></asp:Label>

but i cannot get the text on the Label, can anyone tell me the correct way to add the Text Property from resource file


Solution

  • First you need to create appropriate structure inside web project. In this case I will be using Default.aspx:

    enter image description here

    Take notice I have placed Default.aspx.resx file inside App_LocalResources.

    Next enter new item inside Default.aspx.resx like this:

    enter image description here

    The important thing is you need to set Text property (UserNameLabel.Text)

    And finally here is aspx code:

    <asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" meta:resourcekey="UserNameLabel"></asp:Label>
    

    I have used meta:resourcekey to link to appropriate resource key.
