Multi-language website: almost there

Question

Hi all, First a little introduction since this is my first post: I'm Wouter Bos (The Netherlands), but I use the alias Electricspace online. I'm learning ASP.NET for almost a year now and I'm finally getting somewhere. Didn't need to do a forum post before, but I'm stuck with a specific problem. The problem: I'm trying to make a multi-langual website with .resx-files. Everything looks great, but I want a language switcher in order to give the user a chance to switch to another language. I can't make the switch permanent. The language switch is made after the RESX-variables are loaded and since the language switch isn't stored the next page load will still have the default language. There are a lot of examples out there for multi-langual sites, but I can't seem to fit it into what I want to have. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here? the .asx file: <%@ Control Language="C#" CodeFile="MenuLanguage.ascx.cs" Inherits="UserControlCode" meta:resourcekey="default" EnableViewState="false" %> the .ascx.cs file using System; using System.Collections; using System.Configuration; using System.Globalization; using System.Threading; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; public partial class UserControlCode : System.Web.UI.UserControl { void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs args) { Response.Write("lan: "+ Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString()); } protected void MenuLanguageButtonSwitch(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) { Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(e.CommandName.ToString()); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(e.CommandName.ToString()); Response.Write(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.ToString()); // debug } }
