.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2005web site globalization solution using .net and xml question
I have a client that has an existing website of about 100 pages. He wants those pages translated into 3 different languages. He currently uses a third party translation source who suggested that a good solution would be to use xml to hold all the text for the site then use xslt to generate a the pages. I've attempted to implement this on a page , but the web page loses the functionality of the webcontrols rendered through xml & xslt. Basically, i can't add any programming to the code-behind of the page b/c the controls arent rendered yet. Does anyone know of a vialable to create an .aspx using xml & xlst that does not lose the code-behind functionality? If the Web server controls that you need to put on any page are not affected by the choice of language selected by the user, you might separate the content from the display by creating a class library that handles the xml/xslt transformations and that serves them to the Web server controls in your ASP.NET application webforms. If the number and layout of Web server controls would be affected by the page content then you might have to generate the controls dynamically in the code to wire up the events for each control. For examples on dynamically creating controls refer to the MSDN library: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbor icreatingprogrammingwebformscontrols.asp --- www.societopia.net > I have a client that has an existing website of about 100 pages.

Except all I did was dynamically load xml and style it with the xml.Transform class in the code behind. From there the xml is tranformed and placed on the page. Within the xslt I add web control code to the page. So the web contols added through xslt and xml are never instantiated on the page until after the xml is rendered. So I'd get an error when referrring to those controls from the code behind b/c they aren't physically on the page until after the xml gets rendered by a browser. I'm really thinking about trashing the whole idea, yet if i get it to work it'll be really useful. > If the Web server controls that you need to put on any page are not affected > by the choice of language selected by the user, you might separate the [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > --- > www.societopia.net As you have realized from your attempt to use xslt, Xslt is a stylesheet language technology that is meant primarily to create markup (for data presentation and data transformations), but not to dynamically place controls on a page and wire up events for them. --- www.societopia.net > I've done the latter of what you suggested.
