Localization resources not changing on certain hyperlink controls in a page
Above is the screenshot of the site in development...
We have a DropdownList control and on its SelectedIndexChanged it postbacks, and we then change the site culture and it then loads the respective resources files.
DropDownList ASP.NET Code
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLanguage" runat="server" CssClass="select-language" AutoPostBack="true">
<asp:ListItem Value="en-US" Text="English" title="/images/Flag_USA.gif"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="it-IT" Text="Italiano" title="/images/Flag_Italian.gif"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="fr-FR" Text="Française" title="/images/Flag_French.gif"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
Common class inherited by all of the web pages
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Threading;
using System.Globalization;
public class languagebase : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
try
{
string LanguageCode = Request["ctl00$ucMenu$ddlLanguage"]; // Language Drop Down Control in Front End
if (!LanguageCode.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
setCulture(LanguageCode); // Set Culture language from drop down
Request.Cookies["LanguageCode"].Value = LanguageCode; // Update REQUEST Cookie language from drop down
SetCookies(LanguageCode); // Set Cookie language from drop down
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
setCulture("en-US"); // Set default language
Request.Cookies["LanguageCode"].Value = "en-US"; // Update REQUEST Cookie language to default
SetCookies("en-US"); // Set default language
}
base.InitializeCulture();
}
private static void setCulture(string LanguageValue)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(LanguageValue);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(LanguageValue);
}
public void SetCookies(string strLanguage)
{
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["LanguageCode"].Value = strLanguage;
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies开发者_开发百科["LanguageCode"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(15);
}
}
Extension Method (just for sake of info)
public static Boolean IsNullOrEmpty(this String original)
{
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(original);
}
Example Control on which Localized Resource is not loading
<li>
<img src="/images/my-listing.png" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><asp:HyperLink ID="hlnkMyProperties" runat="server" meta:resourcekey="hlnkMyProperties"></asp:HyperLink>
</li>
Problem at hand
Here, if I reload the page from the browser's addressbar then resources are loaded correctly. I am just imaging how it is possible that the certain controls have English resources and some have old Italian resources when switching the culture?
I hope I have explained it well.
I changed the HyperLink control to the following syntax and voila! It's working now.
<li>
<img src="/images/my-listing.png" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><a ID="hlnkMyProperties" runat="server"><%= GetLocalResourceObject("hlnkMyProperties")%></a>
</li>
