Use Different .resx file

[Josh]

Hello,

In this help topic, the scheduler can be localized by creating a global resource file (RadScheduler.Main.resx) and copying it for each language.

Is there a way to tell the scheduler to look at a different (or local) resource file?
The reason for this is that I wish to use the scheduler for several different applications in the same website, each requiring slightly different values in the resx file.

For instance, on one scheduler I want to have the 'ConfirmDeleteText' say 'Are you sure you want to delete this appointment?', but on another I want it to say 'Are you sure you want to delete this availability?'. I tried doing the following:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                RadScheduler1.Localization.Show24Hours = "test";
            }
        }

It showed the word 'test' in the correct spot, but reverted back to the value in the resource file after an AJAX postback. (Using Q3 2009, .NET 2.0)

Thank you,
Josh

Hi Josh,

There isn't an easy way to use different resource files for different instances. Your approach however is almost correct - you can set the individual localization strings to override instance specific strings, just do it either on each Page_Load or in the markup.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        RadScheduler1.Localization.Show24Hours = "test";
}

I hope this helps.

Tsvetomir, thanks for the reply. For some reason I never got the email. After placing the localization outside of the (!IsPostBack), the change persists.
