Hi

I am using meta:resource key in skin file but it is not working .. can any one help me..

thanks in advance

Can you be more specific? Perhaps post the code in question.

Hi,

Thanks for reply..
scenario is .

1. I have a label in default.aspx page-as
  <asp:Label runat="server" ID="_hell" ></asp:Label>

2.setting of this label are defined in my skin file as-

<asp:Label runat="server" meta:resourcekey="_hellResource1" BackColor="Beige"></asp:Label>

3.I am using two local resource files to get the value of this label at runtime according to language setting.

    a.Default.aspx.resx
            _hellResource1.Text=bye;

    b.Default.aspx.el.resx
            _hellResource1.Text=Hi;

I was thinking that at run time my default.aspx will use my skin class label and from there will get meta:resourcekey and thus according to meta:resourcekey the text of label would come.. But this is not happening.

skin file is not supporting meta:resourcekey attribute.

plz help me why this is not happening or if you could tell me any alternative for it.

A lot of Thanks in advance.

Bye.
Plz

I'm not an expert on skins, just started using them myself. But I suppose the problem is that you are supposed to define instance specific type information for controls in the skin.

If what you were trying worked, then EVERY label in your application would have the same text. Is this what you are looking to achieve?

Use the skin to set generic properties, like style attributes but leave the specifics up to the individual instances. You want to create the same label that is used in many places that you would need to apply many of the same instance property values to, create a user control. They are there for just this purpose.
