Localizing For Hardcoded Strings?
Sep 23, 2010
I am wondering on the complexity and advisability of translating hard-coded string values in my VB apps. I have used the GNU gettext library for C apps, but going through creating a custom wrapper to interop for my VB libraries seems redundant. I know that there is the option (which I have used) of doing satellite assemblies for localizing the form, but for the strings that I have coded this does not seem to work. how to use the power of .NET to extra the strings from my code, put them in a string table and have separate string tables be called based on culture selected?

I'm working on a project that involves localizing a large number of Windows Forms. We're dealing with layout using the TableLayoutPanel control, which works nicely. One area we're striking problems with is when we set the Form.Localizable property to True, we then end up having to manage one .resx file per form per language.
That would be fine if the .resx files only contained the Localized text, but it also contains a vast amount of layout data for the form. Is there a way to separate the localizable text elements from the control layout information, that continues to work in the visual studio IDE? I've noticed that I can modify my the form's designer file to look at another resource file, but when I use the form designer, these changes are deleted:
'Label1
Me.Label1.AutoSize = True
Me.Label1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top
Me.Label1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(3, 0)
Me.Label1.Name = "Label1"
Me.Label1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(61, 13)
Me.Label1.TabIndex = 1
Me.Label1.Text = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("Form1_Label1_Text")

after working with some VB.net files in a project, I find that somehow the values of hard coded numeric double values have changed,that is:[code]This has happened in a lot of the source files of the project.When does this replacement take place? While I can understand that the original numbers cannot be exactly represented as double, I do not want this substitution, is there some way to prevent them? Initially I thought that was some behavior of the source control system (TFS)

I have a multi-lined string message that needs to be added to the Resources.resx file of the project. Currently I'm achieving this some thing like this MessageBox(My.Resources.MyMsg1 & vbNewLine & My.Resources.MyMsg2 ). This works.However I'd like to have the entire message in one resource string rather than adding two resources strings to the Resources.resx file.I've tried using' but no luck..message displays as "My message.Rest of the message".I've also tried manually adding a new line in the Resources.resx file. ( by doing "My message.<Shift+Enter>Rest of the message" But message is adding an additional space before the message in the second line.

If CompLang.Text = "ru***" Then
CompLang2.Text = "working"
End If
This is just a simple example. I'm trying to make it so that if one x.text = ru*** (for instance, ru---, or ruuuu, or rux2x, etc.) to have x.text change to a predetermined value (hardcoded).

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?

For example, assume that in my assembly, in Namespace A, Class B, there is an instance method with the following signature: void Test(string someString, int someOtherParm, string someOtherString ); This method is called multiple times, from multiple places in the assembly. I would like to be able build a list of all invocations of this method and the value of the someString/someOtherString (assuming they are hardcoded). In other words, I like to extract a list of calls like the example one below, if they happen in the assembly somewhere: Test("some text", 8, "some other text");

I have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.

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 have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)
[Code].....
Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

Dim StringStartposition As Integer
Dim StringEndPosition As Integer

I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

Here's the weird problem I am trying to solve but cannot get my mind around it. In a text box 1, the user enters 2 or more strings separated by comma. then in text box 2, the user enter 1 or more strings separated by comma. The output then puts the strings from text box 2 between the strings in text box 1
Example:
TextBox1 = visual basic, java, perl
TextBox2 = is better, compared to

I am writing a program that uses an array with three columns and a varying amount of rows. I need to load info on a list of files in an archive(specifically: file name, size, path), and I am wondering what the most convenient way to store strings(to be loaded into the array) is.
For example: I tried creating a new .resx file in my project, and writing a function to be executed on form1_load that reads the strings from the .resx file and places them in the array in their correct column, but unfortunately had no success.
I really have no idea how resx files work, I can put strings in them using the resource editor, but I don't know how to retrieve them using resourcemanager.
I would just put the info straight into an array, but it's much easier to update a .resx file when the archive changes than it is to update the code.
Could someone please tell me how to use .resx files in vb.net? Or an easier way of accomplishing my goal?

I'm trying to create a number of strings based on one long string that i'm passing.
Basically this is an example of my long string
StrMain = AL123456 - PR123456 - RD123456 - LO123456
So in this case I want to create 4 separate strings.
Str1 = AL123456
Str2 = PR123456
Str3 = RD123456
Str4 = LO123456
But there isn't always that many or there may be more so I need to count how many - there are and with that then create the amount strings needed.
