When I localize an asp.net page that is using bound controls (DetailsView, etc) that has TemplateFields bound using the <%# Bind() #> syntax, after the localization all of the bindings are removed and I have to go back in & rebind everything. I’m creating the localized resource file by switching to design view, then Tools / Generate Local Resource from the menu.

Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so, do you have any suggestions for a workaround?

Before:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText='First Name:'>     <InsertItemTemplate>         <uc:FirstNameTextBox runat='server' ID='FirstName' ValidationGroup='Main' Text='<%# Bind('FirstName') %>' />     </InsertItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>

After:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText='First Name:' meta:resourcekey='TemplateFieldResource1'>     <InsertItemTemplate>         <uc:FirstNameTextBox runat='server' ID='FirstName' ValidationGroup='Main' />     </InsertItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>

Edit: Looks like its just my own UserControls that lose the binding. I tried adding the Bindable and Localizable(false) attributes to the properties, but that didn’t seem to help.

  1. Just found this… http://blog.smart-ms.ordina.nl/Generate+Local+Resource+Files.aspx

    Seems to do the trick without mangling your ASPX file at all… I’ve not run it over a master page / user control yet.
