I have created a sandbox project in sharepoint. I have a module folder which has resources file. I need to localize one label in a web part in Arabic language.

<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server"   Visible="true"  Text="<%$Resources:TestArabic,ObjectiveCode%>"></asp:Label>

The resource file name is TestArabic.ar-SA.resx . Name: ObjectiveCode Value: قانون موضوعي

Error: The resource object with key 'ObjectiveCode' was not found.

  • You said that the resource is in a module? And you are developing a sandbox solution? Could please post the configuration for the module? does it get deployed correctly?

  • Yes resource file is in module and it is a sandbox solution. It is deployed correctly.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ProjectItem Type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Module" SupportedTrustLevels="All" SupportedDeploymentScopes="Web, Site" xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2010/SharePointTools/…"> <Files> <ProjectItemFile Source="TestArabic.ar-SA.resx" Target="Test\Module1\" Type="AppGlobalResource" /> <ProjectItemFile Source="TestEnglish.en-US.resx" Target="Test\Module1\" Type="AppGlobalResource" /> </Files> </ProjectItem>

You should place Resource file TestArabic.ar-SA.resx on the App_GlobalResources folder of your web App by default : 

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<port_number>\App_GlobalResources

PS : do not forget to add a default resource file TestArabic.resx

  • I have the TestArabic.resx in Resource folder and also placed it in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<port_number>\App_GlobalResources . Now it says "The resource file '/App_GlobalResources/TestArabic.ar-SA.resx' cannot be used, as it conflicts with another file with the same name"
