ASP.NET - why is the default resx file being used in the code-behind when the localized one is being used by the markup?

Question

I am creating an ASP.NET web application in C#, and have to localize the application into English and French. I have created two resources files: App_GlobalResources\\Resources.resx and App_GlobalResources\\Resources.fr.resx containing the english and french content.

When I run the application with my browser set to French (fr_FR), the french content is correctly displayed in the markup.

Within the code-behind, when I access values from the resources, it returns the default english values only. eg

this.CompanyName.Text = string.Format(App_GlobalResources.Resources.CompanyLocationsFormat, companyName);

Debugging the app shows that the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture are both correctly set to fr_FR.

Can anyone explain how I can get the code-behind to use the culturally-appropriate resource file?

Many thanks

Answer 1

Are you certain that this specific resource (CompanyLocationsFormat) exists in the french resources file? If a resource is missing, it will fall back to the default one.

Answer 2

在web.config的<system.web>部分中是否有此功能？

<globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" />
