Localization in EnumDropDownListFor using asp.net boilerplate

Question

I have an enum dropdown

//control
 @Html.EnumDropDownListFor(
                        m => m.OrderBy,
                        new {@class = "btn btn-default dropdown-toggle toggle", onchange = "document.getElementById('hf_Pagename').value,this.form.submit();"})

//my enum
 public enum OrderByOptions
    {
        Default,
        PriceLowToHigh,
        PriceHighToLow,
        MostRecent
    }

Now the problem is I need to localize them. But in this case from" PriceLowToHigh" needs to change to " Price- low to high"

Answer 1

You can use AbpDisplayNameAttribute:

public enum OrderByOptions
{
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.Default")]
    Default,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.PriceLowToHigh")]
    PriceLowToHigh,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.PriceHighToLow")]
    PriceHighToLow,
    [AbpDisplayName(MyConsts.LocalizationSourceName, "OrderByOptions.MostRecent")]
    MostRecent
}

Define them in your localization files:

<text name="OrderByOptions.PriceLowToHigh">Price - Low to High</text>

Update

AbpDisplayName works on type class

You can define:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Field)]
public class FieldAbpDisplayNameAttribute : AbpDisplayNameAttribute
{
    // ...
}

Then use [FieldAbpDisplayNameAttribute(...)] instead.
