My site needs to be french and english and I am using resource files to accomplish this. My boss now wants to see sample text inside the text boxes. We are using telerik controls to do this and I am trying to set the sample text to either english or french.
I may have to make a custom control for this so I can have an extra label that is the sample text.
My question is: Can you set other properties besides the text property in the resource files.
ie: Label1Resource.EmptyMessage.Text
with resource set to: Empty message
For local resources ASP.NET matches the attributes in the element:
So in the resource file you would define the localized text for "Text" as:
name: lblErrorMsg.Text and value: Label
If you have an attribute on the telrik control named EmptyText you would address that property in the resource file as such:
name: lblErrorMsg.EmptyText value: Your text
