VS 2010 Where To Store The Resource Files

Apr 12, 2011

As I'm working with some image files for my project, where should I store it ?I mean, they will be displayed frequently to the user. What I do currently is store in the app directory and when needed, I use:

vb.net
PictureBox1.Image=New Bitmap(Application.StartupPath & "ImageName.png"

For some background images, I used to set it at design time. That is, selecting the image needed using the Image property and never changes it at runtime.So, what will be best place to store it efficiently.

Store All These Files On The Server As Text Files?

Dec 14, 2010

I'm doing a project where we are re-creating a very old system.The client wants the same base functionality and some improvements.One of the things I'm currently working on is the note-system. These are used as flags of some sort, but are also used as a comment field for some products or client profiles.In the old system you could write the text and save it like you would get in a .txt file. They want the new one to be able to do word formatting such as:

Different font sizes (Only some parts of the text)
Different font colours (Only some parts of the text)
Underlining of words
Bolding
Italics
Tab-spaces

Those are the specs they want. What I need to know is the following:

1) How do I do that?

2) Currently they store all these files on the server as text files and the database have paths that refers to each file. I want to be able to save a text file with that formatting to the HDD of the server like in the old system.

3) If possible I would like to save that text to the database with the formatting.

IDE :: Resource Files Not Linked To Assembly?

Jun 11, 2010

I'm having an issue linking a lot of .resx file into a compiled assembly to be used in an asp.net web app. The error message I get is:

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.

Make sure "Reports.My.Resources.ArgsRptAgeAtAdmission.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Reports" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.

My solution is set up as so:

Two .dll projects, both building a 'Reports.dll' at the same location (to be able to compile different sets of reports into the website).

One web app project

Each project is located in their own separate folders.

When I build my reports dll project, it saves the assembly in the site /bin folder. I then run the site, builds without errors. I get the exception when I try to load the report that uses the embedded resources. I find it odd, as in code I can access Reports.My.Resources.ArgsRptAgeAtAdmission just fine with Intellisense.

In the report code files, the exception is being thrown from the code

Dim resources As System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager = New System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager(GetType(Resources.ArgsRptAgeAtAdmission))
'Exception is thrown here _____ / _______
Me.textBox3.Text = resources.GetString("textBox3.Text")

The assembly is also being loaded in to the page through reflection, if that makes any difference.

What am I doing wrong in this scenario? I can retrieve the string value by directly calling Reports.My.Resources.ArgsRptAgeAtAdmission.textBox3_Text without error

Include Resource Files For Each Language?

May 31, 2011

i have been looking over the msdn article to translate an application over here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.80).aspx this makes sense to include resource files for each language, giving each resource the file naming convention e.g de-DE for german and letting the system pull the correct resource string through based on the regional system settings. I can see how this will work for strings such as message boxes the article states I need a resource file for each language. all variables will be the same accross all resources, I just need to store the translated string against the correct variable.

I have a question about designer contents I have several forms I've used the form designer to set the forms text and controls text.I can see that a form has a language property that you can set and translate the strings from the designer. my understanding is that a resource file will be generated per form per language changing the language property of the form.

my question is can the above msdn article be mixed with forms designer language method? if so, will this be too many resource files?What is the best practice for application translation?

Installing App To CD And Including Resource Files?

Jan 3, 2011

I have written a simple app that allows our clients to access documents they might need throughout their time of doing business with us. They access these document via a button click event. First off I'd like to publish this program and install it onto a CD so that the end user does not have to install anything on their machine. They just simply pop the CD in and the program runs and they can click on whatever document they need. I'm having to trouble figuring out how to install it on a CD. I am also pretty sure i've done my mouse click events incorrectly because i have the exact path to the documents in my resources file.

i'm currently using the "System.dianogistics...process"(i'm not sure if thats the exact syntax and i forgot a couple of the words) function(i'm not sure if this is a function or not. i'm not super familar with VB). but when i use this method it requires the exact path for the file. which doesn't make sense if i want it on a CD which would change the location of the file for my C: to E:.

Multi-Language And Resource Files?

Aug 27, 2009

I have a question about creating a multi-language application and the use of resource files. I will explain what I have done and what I would like the final product to be like.I am doing this in VB.Net and using Visual Studio 2008 After creating a new project, I added a resource file to the project (Add -> New Item, Selected Resource File, named it Resource1.resx).

I then double clicked the resource file and was able to add some names and values. For example,

Name - lblFirstName, value - John
Name - lblLastName, value - Smith

On my form, I have 2 labels: FirstName, and LastName

In Code, I added

FirstName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblFirstName
LastName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblLastName

If I run this code, it works fine. John and Smith are displayed on the labels. Now for my question. Say instead of first and last name the labels (buttons, menu items, etc.) were actually words that would be different in different languages. What I would like is to have something like

EnglishText.resx
SpanishText.resx
GermanText.resx

Each resource file would contain the same names, just different values. Depending on what language was selected, decided by the user (from a menu), how can I get the matching resource file to be used.

Basically what I want would be FirstName.Text = My.Resources.<Language Specific Resource File>.lblFirstName

Is something like this possible? Is this an acceptable approach? Is there a better way of doing this? I try to check often to see if there are follow up questions or if more information needs to be provided.

Saving Changes In Resource Files With LINQ To XML In .net

May 5, 2011

I am working with .net resources using LINQ to XML. I want to edit some resources, so I coded this:

Public Shared Sub AddTranslation(ByVal filename As String, ByVal name As String, ByVal value As String)
Dim items = From translation In XElement.Load(filename).Elements("data") Where translation.Attribute("name").Value = name

[Code]....

This seems to work, and even when I debug VisualStudio says that the file changed, but actually it doesn't. I think the problem is in the Save() action, but I don't know other way to save it...

VS 2008 Resource Files And App Performance?

Nov 30, 2009

I'm not sure if I'm gonna feel like an idiot after posting this, but here goes . I have taken my first shot a writing a code generator. not too shabby for my first go round, but I already see some ways it can be vastly improved. Not there yet, however. One of the things this code generator does is pull text templates (MANY text templates! Over and OVER again!) from a project resource file. I have added them to the resource designer as linked text files.

Now, the way the generator is written, there can at times be a LOT of iteration (think writing property declarations for a Classs which represents a database entity, as well as the backing fields for those property declarations, etc.).

Is there any significant performance hit to repeatedly accessing a resource? I have looked around on msdn and this forum (and will continue to investigate), but I am hoping someone can give me some clarification.

I SUSPECT that use of a resource file means a trip to the Hard drive each time one accesses it . . . Right? It IS a FILE, linked by it's PATH, right? Due to it's having been designated as a project resource, id a resource file somehow "magially" made available in memory, so that the disk round trip is not necessary?

I suspect I should be retreiving popular resources into a persisted Class-level variable if I plan to use them often within a specific class scope, and at the method level if I plan to perform a significant number of iterations whihc require the resource within the method.

AM I on the right track, or is the resource retreival trivial? I am NOT concerned about milking maximum performance out of a generator tool; it is acceptable for this process to take a little time. However, I also don't want to be sloppy unecessarily.
