I have a plain-vanilla ASP.NET web application that I need to globalize/localize. I can successfully do this using .resx file and explicit localization in my .aspx files. I would like to distribute my localized strings in the form of satellite assemblies rather than as .resx or .resources files.
When using satellite assemblies, I can easily access the resource strings from the code-behind, but have been unsuccessful in getting the explicit localization expressions in the .aspx files to access the resources from the satellite assemblies.
I have yet to find any examples or guidance which speak directly to explicit localization via satellite assemblies, and have been banging my head against the wall on this one for about two weeks.
My question is a simple one - is it possible to use satellite assemblies with explicit localization expressions in an aspx page such as this? If yes, can someone point me towards a working example?
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="twa.aspx.cs" Inherits="twa.WebForm1" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:twa, Label1Text %>"></asp:Label>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:twa, Button1Text %>" />
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:twa, TextBox1Text %>"></asp:TextBox>
</form>
</body>
</html>
What I have tried:
Just looking for an answer as to the feasibility of this approach.
