My ASP.NET page has some html:
Default.aspx:
<h2><asp:Localize meta:resourcekey="lblTitle" Text="Welcome to so" runat="server"></h2>
Now i want to localize that text. So i've created a resource file Default.aspx.resx. Following the examples of Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft, CodeProject, and Stackoverflow i create an lblTitle.Text entry:
Except that little red error indicator's hint says,
The resource name "lblTitle.Text" is not a valid identifier.
How do i localize with asp:Localize? How do i localize with meta:? How do i create a resx?
Update: Renamed App_GlobalResources to App_LocalResources:
Web.config (partial):
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
Update 2: What i don't understand is that i'm following the instructions on MSDN:
To edit the resource file by using the Resource Editor
In Solution Explorer, open Sample.aspx.resx.
In the Resource Editor, under Value, are the Text properties for each
of the controls that you placed onto your page. Changing the value
here will change the value for the default culture.
Set ButtonResource1.Text to Edited English Text.
Save the file.
i've also tried
lblTitle.Text
lblTitle-Text
lblTitle_Text
lblTitle
lblTitleText
You did everything right, but put your ressource file in the wrong folder. Use App_LocalResources instead of App_GlobalResources.
See MSDN for more info on the difference between local and global ressource files:
A local resources file is one that applies to only one ASP.NET page or user control (an ASP.NET file that has a file-name extension of .aspx, .ascx, or .master). You put local resource files in folders that have the reserved name App_LocalResources. Unlike the root App_GlobalResources folder, App_LocalResources folders can be in any folder in the application. You associate a set of resources files with a specific Web page by using the name of the resource file.

I have Resources.resx file created in my webapp wwwroot/Resources folder.
When i try to use it in razor view as #Resources.SomeValue i got an error
The name 'Resources' does not exist in the current context
When i move file to wwwroot folder, i can use resource.
I have tried to use #Resources/Resources.SomeValue, but i got same error
Is there a way to move this file somewhere away from root folder?
In the web.config file in your Views folder, add a namespace to the namespaces node for your Resource folder. Should look something like this:
<add namespace="wwwroot.Resources" />
This should allow you access to that folder in your views. You may have to close and reopen the view to get Intellisense.
I have an application where I have an XML file which holds the connection string.
When hit the URL with the exact file name it opens the file in the browser that is natural.
Now I need to restrict this file browsing and I can not change that code to do any redirect or anything else.
What I have tried is using denyurlsequences in the security tag in the web.config but it restricts the application too to access the file and that makes the application stop working.
I am using .NET Framework 2.0
The ".xml" file extension is not supported by ASP.NET pipeline that is why you cannot add it to web.config and restrict it. What you can do is to copy the xml file in the "App_Data" folder of your application.
The purpose of this folder is to hide it files from browsers/users and also is build for this type of data.
To create "App_Data" folder if it already does not exist :
Right click on your project -> Add ASP.NET Folder -> App_Data
Or just add a folder and call it App_Data
I know its old question but this answer may be helpful for others.
I did below configurations on IIS 8.5 ( make sure Request Filtering is installed on IIS.)
Open IIS and click on your application virtual directory.
In features View, Click on Request Filtering and then go to Hidden Segments tab - this tab will contain list of hidden files or folders. (like web.config, APP_data folder etc...)
Add file or folder you want to hide from the browsing by click on add hidden segment and mention file/folder name you want to hide and test it.
In our application we have a master xml file stored in an application folder, to deny browsing this xml file I had added the folder name in hidden segments and it worked.
I have upload functionality in my application. I was facing an upload issue and found out that in Web.Config there is httpRuntime tag. I set the change as below.
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="2147483647" />
This fixed my upload issue. The above is my Web.Config in my root folder, one that we get by default.
Questions.
Can I create a seperate Web.config file? If Yes, I have to upload the files in some other Virtual Directory and my code is in some other project. So where shall i place the Web.Config file ?
Is it possible to set these settings at page level?
You can add a web.config file to nearly any folder (I doubt the app_data would allow it (but I could be wrong, however this is beside the point)).
You can of course (if possible) create many folders for each setting you need. In other words, have 1 file per folder to get around your issue.
Or, create a new parent folder which you want all sub folders to 'inherit' your new web.config file from. Your web.config file goes into this new parent folder.
Remember, the web.config file inherits from the parent web.config file, so you don't need to write the entire configuration again, just the section you want to add/overwrite.
How do I access resources in a .Net Web Project. I created a web project and then in App_LocalResources folder added a resx file "AstroWap.resx". Now how do I access values from that. The property My.Resources itself is not available.
Good reference reading to use resource files here
To create an access properties - right click your solution, select properties then click the link to create a resource file. You should see a excel type grid. Type your key value pairs in there.
To access it should be
<Namespace>.Properties.Resources.<ResourceName>
The issue is probably how you have added the resource. It might have circumvented the auto generated code which gives you the above syntax
You can check if it has added the auto gen code by looking in your web project under properties -> resources.resx -> resource.cs.designer. The designer file is the autogenerated file and you can see the access code for the underlying resx file. This assumes you have used the default resx file as above. See image for example in solution explorer
In addition this SO question does give more options for accessing resx files if you have some project constraints. I appreciate not everyone can do the above due to team work practices etc.. It's just what I do. And it does work.
Use following code for it:
<%=GetLocalResourceObject("labelname")%>
in aspx page.
If your page name is Test.aspx then your resource file must have name as Test.aspx.resx, otherwise you can not access the resource file value.
I have a website that has 2 files as follows:
page.aspx
page.aspx.cs
It used to be that I could just drop new files onto the web server and IIS would automatically compile the files and I could access the page e.g.
http://www.website.com/page.aspx
... and the associated functionality in the page class contained in the .cs file would work nicely.
Now I get the error: "Could not load type namespace.classname" which refers to my page class.
Now for some strange reason I have to put all my .cs files, even page classes into the app_code folder.
All that has changed on my website is that I reorganised the structure so that instead of my pages being on the web root they are now inside http://.../newfolder/page.aspx.
For some reason all my page.aspx.cs files now have to be in app_code.
Any ideas?
Sounds like you are mixing up a Web Application Project and a Web Site.
Are you sure the files are exactly the same? Perhaps one #Page directive says CodeBehind=Page.aspx.cs and the other says CodeFile=Page.aspx.cs?
CodeBehind requires project compilation, so you cannot just drop in a new .cs file, you need to upload a new compiled DLL. CodeFile will allow dynamic compilation.
The App_Code directory is dynamically compiled (in both cases) when your app is accessed, so the Inherit directive has a valid type when you put the file there. In general, don't do this. You want the .cs file to go with the .aspx file. Use App_Code for business logic or utility classes that aren't associated with a particular page.
Finally, is this new subdirectory set up as a new app in IIS? What does the web.config file in your new directory change? Are you running the same version of ASP.NET? Check the "compilation" tag. I'm not sure what you could do there to cause this, but I'm sure you could cause some chaos.
