I have a vb.net (I am new to vb.net) site that is supporting 10 languages and 30 or 40 countries. I have it architected so that all the files that contain content are located in a inc folder located at root and are called into my container files via Response.WriteFile. My plan is to make the paths the the container files dynamic and set them in a file in the country folders.
My question is what type of files should I use and and how would I use them? Thanks
Hierarchy example
/inc/content.aspx (when pulled into the us folder file need to reference the variables set in config file at the /us/ level)
/us/index.aspx (container file calling files in inc folder with Response.WriteFile)
/us/configFile (file will contain variables that set paths within all files)
.Net has a fairly well thought out way of doing Globalization or Internationlization that is built into the framework.
Do yourself a favor and work with the framework instead of going through the pain of writing this from scratch.
