Question

I am trying to implemented App_GlobalResources for my application to support multi-language.

I've created an AppGlobalResources folder, inside two files:

WebResources.resx
WebResources.de.resx

In each one, I put a TestString name which equals to 'test' in the default one and 'German' in the de one.

In the Page_Load I put the following:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de");

When I call:

txtTest.Text = WebResources.TestString;

I get the default text 'test' and not 'German' as it supposes to.

The file properties for both resx files are:

Build Action: Embedded Resource
Custom Tool: PublicResXFileCodeGenerator

Update:

I checked the WebResources.de.designer.cs and it's empty, unlike the WebResources.Deisgner.cs which has code generated for it.

Answer 1

The problem was that the second resx file didn't have the right build action and custom tool set. Once I changed it, it works.
