  • 0

Trying to localize text in ASP.NET labels… want to add a ‘:’ after the localized text. I could just add the ‘:’ to the localized text in the resource file, but that seems silly… there should be an easy way to do this.

<asp:Label id="RoleTypeLabel" runat="server" Text='<%$ Resources: GS3, RoleTypeLabel %>:' AssociatedControlID="RoleTypeDropDown"></asp:Label>

(note the ‘:’ at the end of Text=’…’)

Of course, this doesn’t work… and neither does anything I can think of to concatenate a ‘:’ onto the end of the localized text.

Anyone know how to do it?

TIA,
James
