Webgrid set culture

Riendy — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:26:49 GMT

Hello,

When you add en-US culture (to common library, not use smart web resources), the file "wglang_en-US.xml" will be create automatically. By default, all other resources will also create using the default culture, but some of resources like "copy this row" is missed by us. So we can't call it as bug.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Regards.

But how do you explain that all other resources (like "Copy this Row" or "Copy this Table") are displayed correctly when setting culture to "en-US" (despite the fact that there is no "wglang_en-US.xml" file yet) ?

For me this is clearly a bug or a bad design on Intersoft's side... could you please at least correct this for the next release?

Hi Nicolas,

Unfortunately we cannot replace it with the default culture, because we must define what culture that we use, so the WebGrid know what file(.xml) that should be reverted.

So now, could you please explain me what I did wrong and why the english resource disappears using "en-US" culture, though still present in "default.xml" (see "<CopySelection>Copy Selection</CopySelection>")?

Regarding to your question above, the english resource disappears using en-US culture though still present in default.xml(en-US), because when you use en-US, WebGrid doesn't revert to default.xml altough it use en-US culture. To solve this problem, You have to create the resource of en-US culture (wglang_en-US.xml). I have tried to copy all data in default.xml to en-US culture file and it works as well as ex2.PNG. If you think that default.xml can solve en-US culture, you can follow my way to copy the resources from default.xml to wglang_en-US.xml.

Hope this helps.

Hi Riendy,

I understand that you don't have all localization cultures. The issue here has nothing to do with missing localizations as my example is using the default culture (filename="default.xml" culture="en-US").

Please let's try a simple example with Intersoft's WebGrid7 sample.
If I take the 'MultipleRowSelection.aspx' web page sample and I add

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); // or "fr-FR"
	WebGrid1.LayoutSettings.TextSettings.Language = LanguageMode.UseCulture;
}

in code behind, if I select multiple rows and I right-click to make appear the context menu, I get the following issue: missing resource for "Copy Selection" (see attached image "ex1.PNG"). This resource is however available by default (see "ex2.PNG") in "default.xml" (culture="en-US").

Of course, if I use another IS's EXISTING culture (fr-FR), everything works well but "Copy Selection" (see "ex3.PNG"), which is OK, as the concerned resource ("<CopySelection>") is clearly missing in "wglang_fr-FR.xml".

As a suggestion for a solution, couldn't you display at least the default culture text resource if this one is missing in the current culture instead of just blank?

This would be much more user friendly and would avoid complaints from our lost users...

Thank you and best regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

This is not an issue in WebGrid's language property. This problem appear because we have missing several culture. If the language's xml which you use is not in localization folder (or the xml is empty), you have to fill it manually. For the details of steps, please follow the steps that yudi gave above.

NOTE: your project must a local host WebSite project, not use SmartWebResources™ (To open the language in common library folder)

Hope this helps.

Hi again,

I found an issue using WebGrid.LayoutSettings.TextSettings.Language property.

As long as you change this property to any other than default (UseDefault), some resources disappear.

Example: WebGrid.LayoutSettings.TextSettings.Language = LanguageMode.UseCulture
=> context menu have empty menu items for "Copy Selection" and "Delete Selection".

Thank you and best regards,

Nicolas

Please allow me to update the most recent status of the issue in this thread.

Me and supporti-track.pmi@pmintl.com have worked closely and managed to have the “Russian language” as the culture of WebGrid by implementing the wglang_ru-RU.xml file into the CommonLibrary folder.

I would like to express my compliment for his patience and cooperation. Thank you very much.

In order to add the reference files, you can open the corresponding folder; select the required files; copy the files; and paste it to the bin folder of WebGridCulture project.

You may either keep the following line or remove the settings in web.config file.

That line of code says that if those reference files (ISNet.dll and ISNet.WebUI.dll) is not available in the project’s bin folder, then it will check in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache at “%SystemRoot%\Assembly” folder).

I have sent you a message; please kindly check the inbox of your registered email account.

Hello Yudi,

If I use your sample project WebGridCulture.zip, I can't add references you mentioned in section 5 of your procedure (juste above).

The reference files are already in web.config you sent me...

If I remove all and try to re-reference the dll, here is the result (see attached pictures).

Am I right about adding a virtual directory for CommonLibrary? (see iis.png)

Best Regards,

Nicolas

The sample that I sent you on my previous post is a localhost website project (not using SmartWebResources™). Please carefully follow the step-by-step below in order to have the sample run on your end.

Assume that the sample is tested on your development PC. Please open “%ProgramFiles%\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\Common Library\WebGrid\V7_0_7200\Localization” folder and you should find existing culture that supported by WebGrid.
Download wglang_ru-RU.xml file attached in my previous post and move the file into the “%ProgramFiles%\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\Common Library\WebGrid\V7_0_7200\Localization” folder.
Open IIS (type “inetmgr” in the Run… command) and ensure that the “CommonLibrary” application is available in the “Default Web Site”.
Download and extract WebGridCulture.zip file attached in my previous post.
Open the “Bin” folder of WebGridCulture website project and add following reference files.
- ISNet.dll and ISNet.WebUI.dll (obtained from “%ProgramFiles%\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\WebUI.NET Framework 3.0\Bin” folder).
- ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll (obtained from "%ProgramFiles%\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\WebGrid.NET 7.0\Bin" folder).
Open IIS, add an application, point and set the physical path of this new application to the WebGridCulture website project.
Try to run the Default.aspx sample file.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm trying to set russian culture to the webgrid.

I attached an example that I tried to modify from you samples.

As you can see, I try to set the culture of the webgrid in the page_load event, but it doesn't work.

For example, the label "ready" that normally appears on the footer isn't displayed anymore.

Am I right? Do I need to set a language file name for other languages?

Best Regards,

Nicolas
