I'd like to add a razor model variable into a resource file string. I've tried the following but the variable is rendered as a literal:
attempt 1:
"There is a variable @Model.here"
attempt 2:
"There is a variable @(Model.here)"
In the code, it is referenced like this:
@MyManager.GetString("resourcefilevariable")
Is there some way to do this?
It is better to do this kind of thing by storing
"There is a variable {0}"
as the resource string, and in the view, writing something like this:
@string.Format(Resources.String, model.here);
As a full example:
Here is the model class:
public class Foo
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public Foo()
{
Name = "bar";
}
}
It has controller with a simple Index ActionResult:
// GET: Foo
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(new Foo());
}
There is a resx file with resource
[resourceName, <strong>name of model is: {0}</strong>]
In the razor view, render this as
@Html.Raw(string.Format(Resources.resourceName, Model.Name))
@string.Format(MyManager.GetString("resourcefilevariable"), model.here); would not do the job?As Leigh Shepperson pointed out, you can use a string with placeholders and string.Format to replace placeholders with actual values. If the string contains any HTML tags it should be rendered with Html.Raw method.
@Html.Raw(string.Format(Resources.String, model.here))
@{and}) then another@is simply a syntactic error because you are already inside Razor. Then you need to use string.Format to format your string. On the other hand, if you inside HTML tag,@(variable)will work.
