Localize Class

Reserves a location on a Web page in which to display localized static text.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
public ref class Localize : public Literal
<asp:Localize />

Use the Localize control to reserve a location on a Web page in which to display localized text.

NoteNote:

Controls that are outside the body element are ignored.

The Localize control inherits from the Literal control and is identical to it in every way. The Localize control is used at design time to distinguish static text that can be localized from other static text. Although the Label control allows you to apply a style to the displayed text, the Localize control does not. You can programmatically manage the text displayed in the control by setting the Literal::Text property, inherited from the Literal control.

Caution noteCaution:

This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input. Validation server controls are also provided to assess user input. For more information, see Securing Standard ControlsHow to: Protect Against Script Exploits in a Web Application by Applying HTML Encoding to Strings, and Validating User Input in ASP.NET Web Pages.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Localize control to display static text.

NoteNote:

The following code example uses the single-file code model and might not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code example must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Page Code Model.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
