  Hello,

  I’m using a FlexGrid in bound mode and my model has a DisplayAttribute annotation to set the display name. I’m specifying a ResourceType because I want the message to be localized based on the culture.

  FlexGrid doesn’t seem to respect the ResourceType value of the DisplayAttribute. It simply gives me the actual string value that’s provided through Name.

  <Display(ResourceType:=GetType(MyResources), Name:=NameOf(MyResources.Grid_Category), AutoGenerateField:=True)>
  Property Type As String

  This will simply return the actual NameOf value instead of looking up the string using the ResourceManager.

  We’re using version 4.8.20233.643. Perhaps this has been fixed in a later version?

  Hello,

  We have escalated the behavior to the development team for further insights. [Internal tracking ID: C1WIN-34683]
  
  We’ll get back once we have more information.

  In the meantime, as a workaround, you can create a custom attribute to provide localized strings. Please refer to the attached sample for the same. (see FlexGrid_Sample.zip)
