Localization for custom modules .. strange VS behavior 
Hi,

Sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong forum, but I am completely stumped over a particular VS2005 behavior and I thought someone else might have run into it.

I've developed a simple custom control, DesktopModules/Test/Test.ascx, that simply displays a label. This label would of course be suitable for localization, and thus, I've clicked on "generate local resource", which creates an App_LocalResources/Test.ascx.resx file.

Now, as soon as I hit "build page" on Test.ascx, VS reports a validation/build error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". It points to the first line in the ascx file, but there's really nothing there to complain about. If I delete the *.resx file(s), it builds fine. Add the resx file again, boom, error. In fact, all I have to do is create a directory called App_LocalResources in that subdirectory for it to go boom.

I managed to create a standalone website, with a custom control in a subfolder, containing localization files, by first of all moving the App_LocalResources folder into the root, then hitting Build Website, then moving them back again into the subfolder, hitting Build Website again, and then I can hit "Build Page" fine, even again and again. But when I try the same stuff within the DNN project, it goes boom again.

Why? Why, oh why? Is this a bug within Visual Studio? Am I doing something wrong? I get the same thing on another guy's machine, and he's running XP, not Vista as I am. We've both got the latest service packs for Visual Studio.

Why? ("Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you even know? Why do you persist?")

Thankful for any help,
Matt

Thanks,

Re: Localization for custom modules .. strange VS behavior 

     The dnn localization is implemented since asp.net 1.1, It is very similar as asp.net 2.0 localizaion implementation but have  diffrence. Please see DotNetNuke Localization.pdf  for detail . you can find this file in DotNetNuke_4.4.1_Docs.zip

Re: Localization for custom modules .. strange VS behavior 
Olly,

Nope, never did. Since asking, I've washed my hands of any custom DNN development, hired a consultant to work out the messy details instead, and am now happily working with php again.

Regards,
Mats Gefvert

Re: Localization for custom modules .. strange VS behavior 

I suggest also to check out the tutorials from Michael Washington at dotnetnuke.adefwebserver.com, AFAIR at least one demonstrates, how to utilize resource files.
