How do i change the language with a button on my website

Tina Overgaard

Hi

I am new to asp.net and have not coded for very long.

I want to make my homepage in a english version, but how do i do that? I want to make buttons, and when you click the page will change to english and i have some of the text in a database.

Is there a beginners guide to that somewhere? Have been seraching for a long time, and cannot find somone good.

Hope some one could help me.

Tina

Hi Tina,

As a general rule, use resx files to localize strings that can only be added by developers and are only updated when new versions of the application are deployed. Resx files are specially tailored for this purpose and work great.
