    Multilingual LoginStatus control

    I try to set Loginstatus logintext by using dictionary item via code behind. I created a macro in master template using a usercontrol like in the following. 

    <asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
        <AnonymousTemplate>
            <span class="input"><umbraco:Item field="#You are not logged-in:" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" /> <umbraco:Item field="#Or" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl="/Register.aspx"><umbraco:Item field="#Register" runat="server"></umbraco:Item></asp:HyperLink></span>
        </AnonymousTemplate>
        <LoggedInTemplate>
            <span class="input"><umbraco:Item field="#Hello" runat="server"></umbraco:Item> <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" /> <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink2" runat="server" NavigateUrl="/ControlPanel.aspx"><umbraco:Item field="#Control Panel" runat="server"></umbraco:Item></asp:HyperLink> | <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus2" runat="server" /></span>
        </LoggedInTemplate>
    </asp:LoginView>

    in code-behind

            protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                var ls = (LoginStatus)LoginView1.FindControl("LoginStatus1");
                ls.LoginText = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Login");
            }

    So far so good, I am able to change loginstatus text. Moreover on login page, if you would ever try to log-in, I get

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Hello,

    This is because, after you login, the control wille display/ the LoggedInTemplate, and not the AnonymousTemplate. So the LoginStatus1 control, which resides in the AnonymousTemplate, is not availabl in login mode.

    I guess something like the following should solve your issue:

    protectedvoidPage_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
                {
                    var ls =LoginView1.FindControl("LoginStatus1") as LoginStatus;
     if (ls != null)
                ls    .LoginText= umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Login");
                }

    Cheers,

    Michael.

    Hi Michael,

    This is how I made it work. Thanks for the feedback

            protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                var ls = (LoginStatus)LoginView1.FindControl("LoginStatus1");
                var ls2 = (LoginStatus)LoginView1.FindControl("LoginStatus2");
                if (ls != null)
                {
                    ls.LoginText = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Login");
                }

                if (ls2 != null)
                {
                    ls2.LogoutText = umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("LogOut");
                }
            }
