I was just wondering what is the best way to handle multiple languages on a web page? Should I create an event in the load where I change the labels of all my controls to the approrpiate language text, or is there a better way? I am using .NET framework, thanks.

Method 1
For ASP.NET, use Resource files. This will let you provide multilingual functionality and you can add translations without needing to recompile.

Method 2
You will want to look at the section of the MSDN documentation that deals with localization and globalization of ASP.NET apps:
