How to add localized listitems to a dropdownlist ?

[Radu]

I have a global resource, Scorecards.resx .

For stuff like
<asp:CustomVali dator
id="validDate"
Text="*"
ErrorMessage= "<%$ Resources:Score cards, String66 %>"
Display="Dynami c"
OnServerValidat e="ServerValida te"
runat="server">
</asp:CustomValid ator>
apparently the syntax
....= "<%$ Resources:Score cards, String66 %>"
works, but in the HTML
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="cboEPSSessi ons"
runat="server" ToolTip="<%$ Resources:Score cards, String68 %>"

> <asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String103%></

asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String104%></
asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>< %$ Resources:Score cards, String105%></
asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownLis t>
my syntax doesn't work anymore at all.

I have the error:
Literal expressions like '<%$ Resources:Score cards, String103%>' are
not allowed. Use <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$
Resources:Score cards, String103%>" /instead.

But if I use the suggested
<asp:ListItem>< asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%$
Resources:Score cards, String63%>" /></asp:ListItem>
instead, I get the error
Element 'Literal' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site.

So then, my question is: How to add localized listitems to a
dropdownlist ?
