Weird text editor on this forum! Managed to destroy most of my previous post. Here's another attempt using the basic text box editor for safety!

This is my first attempt at creating a DNN module with localization, so apols if I have missed something obvious.

My user control (ViewDirectory.ascx) has similar code to the Survey module - i.e:

@ Register TagPrefixTagPrefix="dnn" TagName="Label" Src="~/controls/LabelControl.ascx" %>
<dnn:label id="plMask" runat="server" controlname="Mask" text="Mask (optional):"></dnn:label>
<asp:textbox id="Mask" runat="server" columns="20"></asp:textbox>

My resource file (ViewDirectory.ascx.resx) includes the following:

<data name="plMask.Help" xml:space="preserve">
<value>Optionally enter a mask to filter the word list.</value>
</data>
<data name="plMask.Text" xml:space="preserve">
<value>Mask (optional):</value>
</data>

But the generated span for the help text is empty and the link on the help image has no alt text.
Also, if I do not include the Text on the dnn:Label then no label text is generated.

So the resx file is clearly not being found. I have read the Localization Guide but did not see that I
needed any additional code or module configuration, but would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply. I have since created a Settings control with localization and this works perfectly, so the basic method and file location is clearly OK. The only difference between my ViewDictionary and Settings controls is that the latter is still based on the traditional 2-column table layout (since it obviously needs to match generic settings) whereas in the ViewDictionary control I have a div-based layout with each textbox below its corresponding label. I haven't checked the LabelControl code yet, but I can't see how HTML layout would determine what was generated.
