Use resource file in XAML file (Xamarin)

Question

How to use resource files in XAML (xamarin forms) like <Label Text="MyApp.resouces.MyString" />?

Answer 1

There is a nice article here covering this topic. It includes lot of examples.

After you implement your TranslateExtension your code will look like this:

<Label x:Name="lblName" Text="{local:TranslateExtension MyString}" />

Answer 2

Your App.axml file:

<Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="Master.App">
    <Application.Resources>
        <!-- Application resource dictionary -->
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <x:String x:Key="AppName">Name of app</x:String>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

And then your label:

<Label Text="{StaticResource AppName}"/>
