Hi all,
I'm trying to use the resourkey meta tag (used for localize properties)
inside a Skin file. But it seems not work.

This is the source of the CategoryDropDownList.skin file:

<asp:DropDownList runat="server"
SkinID="CategoryDropDownList"
meta:resourcekey="ddlCategoryResource">
<asp:ListItem meta:resourcekey="ListItemResource1" Selected="True" Text=""
Value=""></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

All function correctly except for the Text property value that should be
derived from my LocalResource file. When rendered, the first item of the
DropDownList appear blank. What's wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance.
 
Hi KaOne,

For implicit localization (via meta:resourcekey, or local resources) to
work correctly, you need a control ID, and that's not available in skin
file. Therefore I think it's not possible to use the local resources in
skin file.

Hope that helps.

Ok, unfortunately I should try in another way.

Thanks a lot anyway.
