Forms :: Switch Languages In VB And Strings
Sep 1, 2010
I've seen quite a few posts regarding changing cultures, localize cultures, etc... but I couldn't care less about all that auto-stuff.I'm developing this GUI to connect with one of our production machines that will be used by the ppl who will be servicing the machines. Which might well be anywhere around Europe and soon enough Japan and US. Therefore, it was asked already to have language options, cause the guy servicing is likely to be a local.
As I said, auto-stuff doesn't bother me, all I want is the option to go to File -> Preferences and change a drop-down box to whatever language the person fancy and put a My.Settings.Save() I'm planning to create a few simple xml files called "en", "fr", "sp", etc which will be something like: <Frm_Main.Label1>Text of the label</Frm_Main.Label1> The actual problem is: I know the coded strings will have to be manually set, but: Is there a way to cycle through all the UI items (labels, toolstripmenu, buttons, group boxes) to set those .text ?? I'm trying stuff like

I have a multilingual company website (Visual Studio / VB / ASP.NET 4.0), and when, on the homepage, you click a flag, the text changes to that language and stays with you the entire session, after I made a class, BasePage.vb. Everything works great, but the URL never changes .... clients.aspx remains clients.aspx although the text DOES switch to Dutch.
It's been recommended by @Aritstos to make it so it looks like clients.aspx?lang=nl as opposed to just clients.aspx in another language.
Currently, my asp homepage hyperlinks that work look like this:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton7" runat="server"
CommandArgument="nl" OnClick="RequestLanguageChange_Click"
class="flagbutton">

how to launch forms across languages without compiling.
I have a solution with 2 projects. One is VB.NET and the other is C#. The solution will never be compiled. I am using it as a repository of examples on working with the DevXpress grid. I have a few VB.NET examples and one in C#. The demo runs the C# executable. I was wondering if there was a way to show the C# form from VB.NET in the same solution without going to the executable. This is how I am doing it now:
Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click
Dim info As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
[Code]....
I tried linking it but either I did something wrong, don't know how to access it or it doesn't work across languages and didn't generate an error.
P.S. If anyone else uses this grid I can post the code, it is mainly for working with combobox columns. I just don't think anyone here uses the grid.

I'm an inquisitive .NET student without any commercial working knowledge and I have been puzzled by what exactlty are .NET languages meant for? Q1.If you look on job websites, .NET seems mainly used for web applications, not much for Windows applications? (My dream job is to develop standalone small Windows applications.)

visual basic.net is case insensitive so it allows the coder to write without caring or remembering the casing of variables. it also relieves from the 'undeclared variable' errors if you use the variable in another case than the one used in declaration. The fact that its line termination is a line feed makes it even more readable unlike C# or c++ that need good care in the casing and contineous war with following up with the {}, matching them and figuring out which is for which.my question is what are the advantages of c# over vb knowing that both get compiled to MSIL so there is almost no performance difference between the two languages?

I am using Visual Studio 2010. I have a Splash Screen which starts first (Everything is running smoothly there). Then it Opens Dialog1. My user is required to check 5 boxes (2,3,4,5,6) (1 has been deleted). I used this Code :
If
CheckBox2.Checked
And
CheckBox3.Checked And
[code].....
I've been experimenting for an 1 hour. The code didn't show errors. I tested it and it didn't work. Then I found out that I was working on Dialog 2 in Dialog 1 code. So I tried another thing and that didn't work because I can't put Dialog2 code in Dialog1 code.

I always get an exception when I try to switch between different forms in my program. Here is the exception message:
Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a separate thread
I have attached the forms to very nice variables and this problem occurs when I try to use command like MyForm.Show().
It does not happen when the forms are not attached to variables, but then I have collosal problems with refreshing the textboxes and stuff.
edit;
I have 4 different forms. When I load the main module and main form, in the Sub (...) Handles MyBase.Load I execute the following code:
In module:
Public StartupForm As frmStartup
Public RegularForm As frmRegularUse
Public LoginForm As frmLogin
[Code]....
This is the aproach I worked out to get the full control over refreshing the forms. It is a program for Motorola Scanner with Windows CE. Now, for example, when I enter the correct password in LoginForm, I want to switch to the RegularForm. When I try to use RegularForm.Show() or RegularForm.ShowDialog or RegularForm.BringToFront(), I get an exception. When I try to call the form with the frmRegularUse.Show() I can call the form, but it is being created in a different thread, I believe, so I loose control over it (when I try to put something from the keyboard, there is no response).

I might be going about this the wrong way, but I'm trying to create a form that will include a single button, for instance "Enter". When "Enter" is clicked, I want the form to then display the contents of form 2, which might include more buttons and/or a textbox, etc. I want to do all this without ever opening or closing a form.

In my project I have 3 different forms. They all have the same design layout so the only different you see is where the text boxes and buttons are placed. Right now I have 3 buttons at the top of each form that Im using to switch between the forms
[Code]...
I know there is probably a much better way of doing this, and faster. I dont' like the delay between each window showing/hiding. what options do I have to make this run better? Since I have the same design background is there I way I can just hide and show just the controls instead of showing/hiding the entire window?

I am trying to make a UI that has a few forms / panels, each for a different "Tab" in the program.
I am guessing that the way to do this is using panels and code like:
Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = False
Panel3.Visible = False
Panel4.Visible = True
Would I be correct in assuming that this is the best way to go? (I don't want lots of popup forms in the program, looking for the most streamlined way to go).
Also, if this is the correct way to go how would I go about hiding each panel in the IDE so that I can work on each one seperately using the designer view?
Here is the best example application I can think to use: [URL] Each of the tabs (Proxies, Harvester etc) has an image as the tab (Which I can't find an option to do with TabControl and then displays the container / panel below it

I have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?)
The same amount of code still has to be written The new options of Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter seem confusing the same code is written programatically access the Database, all that changes is how that command is laid out. Why ADO.NET is 'better' than ADO with regards to data access when it comes to Windows Forms applications. What does ADO.NET provide that ADO does not? What does it do better than ADO? I'd like examples that do not involve LINQ.

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

Can you look at this code? It's a class module that I made so I can make our application more modular.
In the code there are 3 lines of code which have this as part of it: FormBrowseAttendance.ComboBoxLookupStudent.how I can change the coding to refer to this portion of code using these parameters:
pComboBoxName
pNameOfForm
I'm assuming these need to converted is some way but I don't know how to do it.

I have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.

I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?

I'm building a website which will have a Spanish and Italian version.
In the past, when building a site which must be available in different languages, I've created a SQL Table like follows:
dbo.News
--------
ID int
EnglishTitle nvarchar(200)
SpanishTitle nvarchar(200)
[Code]....
However, I've found this really time consuming (especially if the client later asks for another language option as a second phase).
What is the best practice for doing something like this, allowing scope for extra languages?

I'm not sure if what I am trying to do is possible, but surprisingly VS2008 seems to let me copy a .cs file directly into my VB.NET project. I then thought that I may be able to use the class in this file directly from VB.NET. However, it doesn't see it when I try to reference it in. Is what I'm trying to do possible, or is VS2008 simply treating the C# file as a resource file or something?

I am currently writing a program and I have all the windows in three languages. Is there any way of quickly changing through the languages? I mean, I can do it manually but the list has like 500+ languages and I was wondering if there was any keyboard shortcut to switch between the used languages, or any way to put a buttom on the toolbar.

I need to write a web application that should be available in several languages.
I can think of several way to do this, but I would like some advice on the best method.
1) put a table on the SQL server where each line as a unique ID and a column for the text for each language
2) Do the same as 1 but then use an XML file
3) Put for each language a table on the SQL server with only two columns (ID,text)
4) The same as 3 but in XML files
5) make a DLL with a collection class (read the choosen language from the database and place it in a collection, then use a FIND function)
6) make a DLL with a collection class for each language where the data comes from an XML file in the resource of the project.
