As we see in fig no. 2, if I took this file hirarchy then application works perfect.
but if I changed something like [refer fig. no. 1 ] added one folder and add actual content file inside it. then website stops localization process.
how to call that App_LocalResource Files.

As your suggested way, I mean Language wise categorization in App_GlobalResources
Suppose In project there are 5 files (.aspx) and each can contain more than 15 components and I need to store each Text and its Tooltips.

-----------------------------
Situation :
Files - 5
Components - 15
Stirings to be localized - 2 (Text and Tooltip)

-----------------------
Total : 5*15*2 = 150 strings in 1 file for per Language.

I think it would become very complicated na.
I will appreciate , if you will provide any example.

whenever you create a local resource file for each page it will always create in the same root directory. So only your code was not working. in App_Global will be used only for string value, not like control id value. As I shown you earlier. I request you going forward try to use Global resource as I have shown earlier.

yes sir. It is necessary to create pages folder.
In this way I am creating resource key for each component.

----------- In ContentPage.aspx.hi.resx ----
lblFirstNameResource.Text -> "Some Value"

-------------

I am keeping .resx files in App_LocalResources.
I tried to move in App_GlobalResources. but getting error
"The resource "lblFirstNameResource.Text" is not valid identifier".

I have few question

Is it necessary for you to create Page folder?
Can you check by putting your resource file in App_GlobalResources and bind the control as
?
Can you provide me how you are bind the resource value to each control?

Hi,
Lets say you want to change language either English (United States) or German (Germany).
The culture name from this: en-US and de-DE.
So you create two resource file under App_GlobalResources as

ProjectResources.en-US.resx and
ProjectResources.de-DE.resx

In your aspx page

Choose Language

English (United States)
German (Germany)

In your code behind

protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
if (Request.Form["DdlLanguage"] != null)
{
UICulture = Request.Form["DdlLanguage"];
Culture = Request.Form["DdlLanguage"];
}
base.InitializeCulture();
}

You can have only two resource file

Your resource file will contain

See below the output

So you no need to have so many resource file.

Thank you for reply Sir, I have more than 50 Files to be localized for Project and by loading each string manually its headache for me. So, cant we just pass resource Files or provide reference while execution? Is there any provision provided?
