I have som text-content that I want to be able to change without recompiling

  • 0

I have som text-content that I want to be able to change without recompiling my project. I have created a resource file and put some text-content in it.

I was under the impression that I could write <%$ Resources:mapLink2 %> wherever I wanted but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The following code in my ascx gives me an error:

<a href='<%$ Resources:mapLink2 %>'><img class='2 selectableImg' src='map_2.gif' /></a>

I only got the error message in Swedish (sorry about that) but I think it might give you some hints of what is going on:

Literala uttryck som ” är inte tillåtna. Använd i stället. vid System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ProcessError(String message) vid System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseStringInternal(String text, Encoding fileEncoding) vid System.Web.UI.TemplateParser.ParseString(String text, VirtualPath virtualPath, Encoding fileEncoding)

But if I do:

<a href='<asp:literal runat='server' Text='<%$ Resources:mapLink2 %>'/>'><img class='2 selectableImg' src='map_2.gif' /></a>

it all works out allright.

How come the first version doesn’t work? Aren’t resource files supposed to work like I want them to in example 1?

  1. Maybe this only works with server controls? Have you tried setting runat=’server’ on the a from your first example?
