HTML code segment to illustrate the SoLabel from ContactMainView.ascx file.

<td width="1%">
  <so2:SoLabel ID="TelephoneLabel" Caption="SR_CC_PHONE" CaptionBinding="Resources" runat="server" ContextStyle="Important">
  </so2:SoLabel>
 </td>

The SoLabel is identified by its ID.

Caption

Caption is another main property of the SoLabel. For example, SR_CC_PHONE.

The CaptionBinding property is set to resources since the actual caption is looked up using something similar to data-binding.

In run time to get the caption of "SR_CC_PHONE", the dynamic DLL call SuperOffice.Web.Globalization.resources.dll is used. This is generated in SuperOffice by using SuperOffice.Web.Globalization. Several culture-specific resource files are included in this.

For example, in ResourceStrings.en-us.resx it sets the caption of "SR_CC_PHONE" to "Telephone", the XML element below shows the convention.

<data name="SR_CC_PHONE">
    <value>Telephone:</value>
</data>
