Silverlight Toolkit has a resource file named Resources.resx, which contains "On" and "Off" string states for the switch. But when I have added a corresponding localized resource, Resources.ru-RU.resx, it wasn't picked up by the localization (though the similar approach works for my own resources).
One way to do it is to create my own binding for the ToggleSwitch Content, but I was hoping for a non-coding solution. Possible?
Localize ToggleSwitch in Silverlight Toolkit can be achived via DataTemplate
<toolkit:ToggleSwitch x:Name="MySwitch" Header="Localized Switch">
<toolkit:ToggleSwitch.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Content="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Switch}}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ToggleSwitch.ContentTemplate>
</toolkit:ToggleSwitch>
Declare an ValueConverter:
public class BoolToSwitchConverter : IValueConverter
{
private string FalseValue = Resources.Off;
private string TrueValue = Resources.On;
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter,
System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value == null)
return FalseValue;
else
return ("On".Equals(value)) ? TrueValue : FalseValue;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return value != null ? value.Equals(TrueValue) : false;
}
}
More details here.
You need to name your resource file ControlResources.ru-RU.resx , see Andrej Torzen's article on the subject.
