[Solved] How to declaratively localize PagerTextFormat text

[Vasssek]

Hello Telerik team,

I have been struggling with one issue, how to declaratively localize PagerTextFormat through App_GlobalResources custom file. I have created Application.resx file from which I want to add text to PagerTextFormat.

Here is the current definition inside of MasterTableView, which works normally:

<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" PagerTextFormat="{4}Celkový počet záznamov: <b>{5}</b>" />

In English it means: Total records: 18

Now, I want to make it multilingual, so I tried to replace text with variable from my .resx file, something like this:

<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" ShowPagerText="true" PagerTextFormat="{4}<%$ Resources: Application, String1 %>{5}" />

The problem is that Radgrid doesn't show my text from variable String1, instead of full text, it shows just number 18.

Please help me to solve this issue. I don't want to use codebehind solution...

Thank you.

Best regards

Vasssek

Hi Eyup,

I know how to do it via RadGrid.Main.resx file, but what I've tried to achieve is to change it through custom global resx file named (Application.resx), then it will apply just on current radgrid.

When I will change it in App_GlobalResources\RadGrid.Main.sk-SK.resx file, it will apply to all radgrids in my web application.

So, the question is, why it didn't show localized text in property PagerTextFormat="{4}<%$ Resources: Application, String1 %>{5}" as I wrote below...

Please help me to solve this issue.

Hello Vaclav,

In such case, you will need to define the property programmatically:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.PagerStyle.PagerTextFormat = "{4}" +
        GetGlobalResourceObject("Application", "String1") + ": {5}";
}

That should do the trick. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Hello Eyup ,

thank you for that code example. It worked as I expected.

How come, it doesn't work from radgrid declaration side ? Maybe you should add it into next official DLL release...

Hello Vasssek,

It is too early in the page life cycle, therefore, the grid is not able to apply the localized text.
