 <tr runat="server" >
   <th><%= Resources.bicweb_resources.BORDER_STYLE %></th>
   <td>
     <asp:DropDownList runat="server" id = "borderContent" class = "attribute" >
       <asp:ListItem value = "NULL">
       </asp:ListItem>
       <asp:ListItem value = "0" >
         <%= Resources.bicweb_resources.FALSE %>
       </asp:ListItem>
       <asp:ListItem value = "1">
         <%= Resources.bicweb_resources.TRUE %>
       </asp:ListItem>
     </asp:DropDownList>
   </td>
 </tr>

You can see that i set stuff inside an …

the ListItems are not runatserver, so i was thinking of a way to make it work to place 3 items into where they are suppose to be.

The error comes from trying to render a control which has a block inside to render at server time. Im trying to figure out if i should select the dropdownlist on serverside, and then iterate through the child controls or something.

Your codeblocks are wrong for the resource file.

Your code block:

 <%= Resources.bicweb_resouces.TRUE %>

What it should be:

 <%$ Resources: bicweb_resources, TRUE %>

Instead of nesting them in tags, you can also use the TEXT attribute of the control to populate the data.
