Get value from language specific resource file without changing the site language

I have several resource files, e.g.

default.aspx.resx, default.aspx.nl.resx, default.aspx.en.resx

Now when I'm on the Dutch domain the default.aspx.nl.resx is loaded. But now I want to access the value from default.aspx.en.resx and get the English value belonging to name "title".

I can now achieve this by changing the current culture server-side, access the value and then change it back, like so:

Dim culture As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo("en")
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture
Dim title as String = GetLocalResourceObject("title")
culture = New CultureInfo("nl")
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture

But is there a better/faster way? Preferably without have to change the culture for the current thread, so I can just define which resource file I want to access and in which language?

Solution

  • You can add in parameter your targe culture 

    GetLocalResourceObject("title","YourCulture");
