Localization with MasterPage3/18/2008 11:43:31 AM

0

Hi,

I have a Label inside a MasterPage, which is showing some header information. In content pages I am setting a specific value to it. To prevent me to cast the Page.Master property to my actual MasterPage and then access that label, I have created a base class for all my Content pages, called BasePage. In that I have written a property called PageTitle, which is returning the label. In every page, which is deriving from BasePage, I can do the following:

this.PageTitle = "My Title";

Afterwards, I localized my content pages. In the resource file, I have an entry like "Page.PageTitle" and set a value to it. When I do that, I don't have to do anything in code behind. The automatic localization of ASP.Net is finding the property and setting its value.

But right now, I put the label in the MasterPage inside an updatePanel (the contentpage is outside the updatepanel). When I run my app, I get an error, that the label is null. I think it is not initialized yet. Can you tell me, how can I initialize the label, before localization of the content page has begun?

Hi,

You can try to check the label's clientID.

Sometimes, the control's clientID will be changed if you put the control in the updatepanel, it will be like: updatepanelid$labelid or updatepanelid_labelid

Hi Amanda,

I don't understand why I should use ClientID. I have created a public property in my masterpage, which is returning my label. So from my webcontentpage I can access it through the property. I don't need its clientID.

I could reproduce that problem in a simpler way:

Create a webForm and put a scriptManager, an updatePanel to the page and a label inside the update panel. Create a property named PageTitle in the code behind, which is returning the text property of the label. When you set the PageTitle property programmaticly, it is working. But when you localize the page by using "generate local resource" and put the Page.PageTitle key into the resource file, ASP is trying to assign a value to the property automatically, while the label itself is not initialized yet (of course, you have to give the page a meta:resourcekey="Page" in the page directive).

I know that this sample is not efficient, but I actualy need this in a master page scenario. This sample is only a cut down repro of the problem.

Hope you can help me.

Hi again.

I could reproduce the same problem without a masterpage. I have just a page. On that page an updatepanel, and inside a label. In codebehind, I have defined a property, which is returning the labels text. If I set the label's text using the property by code, it is working like expected. But if I don't set it programmatically, and instead set the meta:resourcekey of the page and put a key in the local resourcefile with key [PageResourceKey].[PropertyName], I get an exception that the label is not set.

Here the markup of the page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="TestPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="UpdatePanelLocalization.TestPage" meta:resourcekey="PageResource1" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI" TagPrefix="asp" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<head runat="server">

<title>Testpage</title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

</asp:ScriptManager>

 

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">

<ContentTemplate>

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

And here its code behind:

public partial class TestPage : System.Web.UI.Page

{

public string MyHeaderText

{

get { return this.Label1.Text; }set { this.Label1.Text = value; }

}

}

 

And I have a resource file named TestPage.aspx.resx in the App_LocalResources folder with key PageResource1.MyHeaderText and any value. When you do that and run the app, you will get an exception, that the label is not set.

Hi,

Why do you declare a property to change the Label1.Text?

How about do it like this:

Then only add a string named MyHeaderText,

 Then you use <%$ Resources:Resources: MyHeaderText %> expressions.

 <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"  Text="<%$ Resources: MyHeaderText %>"></asp:Label>
</ContentTemplate>      
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Hope it helps.

Hi Amanda,

in my system, I have many pages. In the most of them, the header text is static. So I would just insert it into the resource file and everything will work automatically. But on some pages, the header is created on some other circumstances. There I need a property, to be able to set the header programmatically.

Do you think, it is not possible?
