Localization

  • Demo Configurator
  • Choose language

RadComboBox provides a mechanism for quick and easy localization, based on the native ASP.NET 2.0 localization. The text message in the show more results box is obtained from the resource files located in the WebSite's App_GlobalResources directory, so that the language of the control can be switched with a single property (Culture).
e.g. <telerik:RadComboBox id="RadComboBox1" runat="server" Culture="en-US" />

Developers can also localize the component for languages, which are not provided with the RadComboBox distribution by modifying the provided resx file.

Additionally, each of the localization strings can be modified at runtime using the Localization property. This saves the need to create a new localization file to change a single string.
