The resource name is not a valid identifier for devexpress gridview - asp.net

Question

I want to translate DevExpress GridView filter text from English to Persian.
I added a .resx file into asp.net project and fill it.
But I have some problem.
The resource name ASPxGridViewStringId.GroupPanel is not a valid identifier.
After added this .resx file, and run project, not happen any thing.
How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

OK!!!! I do it, according to the similar question in this page, I added two ".resx" into App_GlobalResources folder.
one of them is default lang "English" and other is target lang "Persian".
DevExpress_Web_ASPxGridView_v15_1.rexs = default
DevExpress_Web_ASPxGridView_v15_1.Fa.resx = target
and translate it's values to persian.
finally change "UICULTURE" to "fa-ir".

You can take a look at DevExpress Documentation topic called «Localization»:
DevExpress ASP.NET controls can be localized using one of the
following methods.
Via Satellite Resource Assemblies.This is the most universal approach, commonly used for all DevExpress products and under all
supported technologies.
Localizing ASP.NET Controls via Localizer Objects.This approach is appropriate if you are developing an application for a single culture
and you wish to translate resources into a specific language, or you
wish to change the default resources (for the English-US culture) to
their equivalents.
Satellite Resource Assemblies
You can create your translation via Localization Service:
After completing the translation you can save it, download it as the assembly and add it into your project:
To add localized resources to your application, copy satellite
assemblies from the unpacked archive to the corresponding subfolders
of your application's directory. The subfolder's name is the culture's
abbreviation. For example, to include German assemblies, copy the
folder named de from the \Bin\Framework\ directory to the Bin
directory of your application.
Localizer Objects
You can create custom localizer object for your translation and use it in your application. For GridView your object must be derived from ASPxGridViewLocalizer class or from ASPxGridViewResLocalizer class. In your descendant class you must ovveride XtraLocalizer(T).GetLocalizedString method. This method is using ASPxGridViewStringId enumeration as parameter.
Here is example:
public class CustomGridViewLocalizer : ASPxGridViewResLocalizer
{
public static void Activate()
{
var localizer = new CustomGridViewLocalizer();
var provider = new DefaultActiveLocalizerProvider<ASPxGridViewStringId>(localizer);
SetActiveLocalizerProvider(provider);
}
public override string GetLocalizedString(ASPxGridViewStringId id)
{
switch (id)
{
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterBeginsWith:
return "شروع با";
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterContains:
return "شامل";
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterDoesNotContain:
return "شامل نمی شود";
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterEndsWith:
return "به پایان می رسد با";
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterEquals:
return "برابر";
case ASPxGridViewStringId.AutoFilterNotEqual:
return "نا برابر";
default:
return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
}
}
}
You need to activate this object in the Application_Start event handler within the Global.asax file:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CustomGridViewLocalizer.Activate();
}
