My issue: that I have two pages
1- page.aspx for English language mode
2- page-ar.aspx for Arabic language mode
And I have LinkeButton on click I pass session;
Session["lang"] = "ar";
or
Session["lang"] = "en";
What I need to get page.aspx name and add this string "-ar" to goto Arabic mode or to remove "-ar" from page-ar.aspx to goto English mode
And take in your consideration maybe there's some query string in pageurl.
You could use the following code in the code-behind page (e.g. Page_Load):
protected string LinkUrl;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var language = (string) Session["lang"] ?? "en";
LinkUrl = (language == "ar")
? Page.ResolveUrl("~/page-ar.aspx")
: Page.ResolveUrl("~/page.aspx");
}
On the page markup you can then place a link like this:
<a href="<%= LinkUrl %>">Language Demo</a>
this the answer after the Mr/sheKhar help and with my own search
i have two button
one for Arabic and other for English mode
when user click on English button
protected void english_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Path = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
System.IO.FileInfo Info = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path);
string pageName = Info.Name;
if (Session["lang"].ToString() == "ar")
{
string enlink = pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 8) + ".aspx";
Session["lang"] = "en";
var page = (Page)HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler;
string QueryString = page.ClientQueryString;
if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(QueryString)))
{
Response.Redirect(enlink + "?" + QueryString);
}
else
{
Response.Redirect(enlink);
}
}
}
and when user click on arabic button
protected void arabic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Path = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
System.IO.FileInfo Info = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path);
string pageName = Info.Name;
if (Session["lang"].ToString() == "en")
{
string arlink= pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 5) + "-ar.aspx";
Session["lang"] = "ar";
//
var page = (Page)HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler;
string QueryString = page.ClientQueryString; // this code get The Query String
if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(QueryString)))
{
Response.Redirect(arlink +"?"+ QueryString);
}
else
{
Response.Redirect(arlink);
}
}
}
wish this code helping someone :)
string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
// http://localhost:1302/TESTERS/Default6.aspx
string path = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
// /TESTERS/Default6.aspx
string host = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host;
// localhost
You can create a function which can return the current page name as follows
public string GetCurrentPageName()
{
string Path = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
System.IO.FileInfo Info = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path);
string pageName = Info.Name;
return pageName;
}
Now finaly you can create a function and pass the session value as follows
public string GetCurrentPageName(string fileName)
{
string Path = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
System.IO.FileInfo Info = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path);
string pageName = Info.Name;
if (fileName == "ar")
return pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 7) + ".aspx";
else
return pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 5) + "_ar.aspx";
}
Pass the session value in the above function and it will work.
Note:- I have not tested it.
If you are at the beginning of designing your system I would suggest you to use resource .resx files.
To make the UI multilanguage with resources check out this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917414
For the data that you pull from the database you will have to use a lot of if statements.
If (arabic) {
Select arabic data
}
else
{
Select english data
}
If you consider to use resx files I can help you with more information.
With this solution there are no string manipulations and querystrings will be fine everything will work.
