• Generate local resources - Asp.Net applications

  I think that generate local resources in order to apply localisations for all pages of a web site, has sometimes some limitations. I have done this for a site with about 40 pages, and finally there are some images which doesn't appears on the site and some linkbuttons texts. I thought this features of MS has a bug. But, finally i discover the reason was that if you apply graphics styles in a nonstandard way like putting the text of a link inside a div, after generate local resources, the link will not appear on the site.So, the conclusion, is that if you write a web application, and you plan you use Microsoft localisation, don't use static html controls in place of standard localisable attributes (such as Text, Value etc.) AutomatedResourceTranslation.zip   Posted Mar 15 2008, 09:43 PM by iulia with no comments Filed under: local resources, localisation, asp.net
