Hi Adam,

Well, the problem with this example is that it doesn't work, the parser error message is:

"Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs"

Hello Marek,

you could avoid the code behind if you embedded the code directly:

<%= Translate("/usersettings/username") %>

So for example do
<asp:Label Text="<%= Translate("/usersettings/username") %>"
