Hi again,

I'm trying to dynamically set the text of the "Add File" button in the <UplevelSelectorTemplate>. The reason for this is our website is bilingual, and I need to dynamically change the text to another language based on the culture instead of having the button's text hard-coded.

I've tried using FindControl within the ItemTemplateCreated method, but the button can't be found (likely because it's not in the template?)

My code is below. I am trying to set the text for btnAddFile

Something like this:

                Dim btnAddFile As Button = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("btnAddFile"), Button)

                If clsCulture.CurrentCulture = clsUtil.AvailableLanguages.fr Then
                    btnAddFile.Text = "Ajouter un fichier"
                Else
                    btnAddFile.Text = "Add File"
                End If

I also need to do this for controls inside the <ProgressTemplate> as well (ie: label control for "Uploading", "(calculating"), "currently uploading", etc). I need create this text as labels and translate the text depending on the culture.

My markup code... thank you:

<kw:SlickUpload ID="SlickUpload1" runat="server" ShowDuringUploadElements="cancelButton" MaxFiles="1" HasPostProcessStep="True" HideDuringUploadElements="cmdUpload" ValidExtensions="" OnUploadComplete="SlickUpload1_UploadComplete" AutoPostBackAfterUpload="true" >

                <DownlevelSelectorTemplate>

                    <input type="file" id="fuFile" />

                </DownlevelSelectorTemplate>

                <UplevelSelectorTemplate>

                    <!-- NEED TO ACCESS THIS BUTTON-->
                            <asp:Button ID="btnAddFile" runat="server" Text="Add File" /> 

                </UplevelSelectorTemplate>

                <FileTemplate>

                    <kw:FileListRemoveLink ID="FileListRemoveLink1" runat="server">[X]</kw:FileListRemoveLink>

                    <kw:FileListValidationMessage ID="FileListValidationMessage1" runat="server" ForeColor="Red" />

                </FileTemplate>

                <ProgressTemplate>

                    <table width="100%">

                        <tr>

                            <td>
                               <!--NEED TO ACCESS THIS LABEL -->
                                       <asp:label id="lblUploading" runat="server" text="Uploading" /> 

                                <kw:UploadProgressElement ID="UploadProgressElement1" runat="server" Element="FileCountText">

                                </kw:UploadProgressElement>

                                ,

                                <kw:UploadProgressElement ID="UploadProgressElement2" runat="server" Element="ContentLengthText">

                                    (calculating)</kw:UploadProgressElement>

                                .

                            </td>

                        </tr>

                         {...}

                </ProgressTemplate>

            </kw:SlickUpload>

<asp:Label ID="lblApplicationName" runat="server" 
    Text="<%$ Resources:Litware, ApplicationName %>" /> 

Thank you for your suggestion. The website is currently using the Enterprise Localization Toolkit, which would not register the keys when I added them to the nested controls.

I ended up finding a work-around, and just generated a local resource file for only the user control. Seems to work just fine. 

Thanks for the help!
