I've been reading about i18n and how to make my app ready for localization. One thing recommended is to set the NeutralResourceLanguageAttribute in the AssemblyInfo.vb file like such: <Assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en")>However, when I do that I get 'Type is not defined' Anybody have any clues?
View 2 Repliesi'm making a program that will be used Only from a CD, not ever downloaded to a PC.I just would like to have the user insert the CD into a CD-Rom Drive, and the program will Auto Start with a Splash Screen, then start/load the first windows form. The form will have some buttons on it for the user to interact with the CD, by either going to other window forms or by downloading exe files or zip files to the user's computer.
Also the form has buttons on it for the user to click on to bring up a PDF to be viewed.I have tried to do the Publish and found that it created a setup.exe...as in I think it wantes to install my program, and my program is not for installing. only viewing and interacting with and maybe downloading files from it, my CD program is never to be installed.I'm pretty sure I need to save or create my program as just an AutoRun, that starts when the CD is inserted and that is all I think needs to be done...so how do I just create a AutoRun Only version of my program, not a setup.exe?I will have a ini file to reference the AutoRun file on the CD, no problem.
i have a NAS drive that is mapped to my system..My application will copy files to the drive but the only problem is the drive has a sleep function on it therefore when i try to copy files to it and it is in sleep mode, it says the folder does not exist (drive still in my computer but just with a red X on it)is there a function to make ir ready ? the only other way to do it is to double click the drive icon in my computer then it wakes up... but id rather not do this as its a pain.
View 3 RepliesI try to create a localization of my application. I tried 2 versions:
1.http:[url].... but when I am changing in the combobox the language, nothing is happen.
2. the example from the Training Kit of the MCTS Exam 70-511: Windows applications development with Microsoft .net framework 4. The example works, but the problem is that I want to change the language in the current form not in another.
Also I meet next problem. In my form I have many components: labels, charts, calendar etc. When I select for example German from the combobox, the header of the calendar is changed but all other components are the same, you can not see anything changed.I checked the resources, but them are ok. I tried also to use me.refresh(), but it was useless.
I am working on a website in dnn. I want to change the language of website or particular page. So I download the language package for spanish(es-es),chinese(zh-cn) and install them from host. Next when I changed the language of browser then the website language didn't change. Working on dnn 5.0.
how I can use language packages in dnn website.
I've just read this page [URL] One of the things they did was to convert the arabic date to the arabic calendar. I'm wondering if it is a good idea at all to do so. Will it actually be annoying/confusing for the user (even if the user is Arabic). Also, my second question is that do we really need to change 3,899.99 to 3.899,99 for some cultures like German? I mean it doesn't hurt to do so since the library already does it for us but wouldn't this actually cause more confusion to the user (even if he is German).

One thing that this code does not do is detect when the driver changes from ready to not ready, e.g. if a CD is removed/ inserted into the optical drive or a memory card is removed/inserted into the card reader. How can I accomplish that?
After lot of searching I found a working sample showing how to get a HTML page loaded. It works now if I wait until it is finished loading and then press a button to transfer HTML data into string.

i've created an addin which shows localized properties for the current component being designed, be it a form or a control.
My approach is to load/save localizable property values through the designers resourcemanager service (resourcereader/-writer), but when I save the values, the changes doesn't appear in the designer, unless I reload it.
It's worth to say, that I am using the CreateTransaction+OnComponentChanged approach, which does notify the desiger that changes are made, but it doesnt change the newly edited resources...
Is there some way to make the designer refresh it's resources? Is there a way to know which language (form localization) the designer is designing? Is there a way to track when DTE.ActiveDocument changes, so that the toolwindow can be refreshed?
I've just about finished my WPF app, but I just hit a hurdle: my app needs to be totally localized (I've achieved this using databinding/RESX files & multiple cultures), and the actual program does this My problem is that I have a window where you generate reports on your progress.It's designed so that programmers will be able to design their own 'report sections', using interfaces & class libraries.Just one problem though: when I use RESX files inside these class libraries, they won't actually change even if I set their culture to the relevant culture I want to test.

View 8 RepliesI have a month calendar in a form.The control documentation says it will get its format and all strings from LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT.I have set my system location to a latin amarican country, so the month calendar should be shown in Spanish.Most of its functionality is, indeed, following the Spanish format: The month appears in Spanish and dates are reported with dd/mm/yyyy format.Nevertheless, the "today" portion of the control, at its bottom, appears in English as "today:" instead of, let's say, "Hoy:".I also noticed the "today" text turns blue when the mouse moves over it, but not all the date turns blue, the last two digits of the year stay black.I should state that my Windows and Visual Studio are in English.Could it be a bug in the control? Maybe is there a patch to correct this?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to localize a big application I'm doing by my side. In order to do this, I would need some external translators to get the text (in an xml or the like) and make the appropriate translations to several languages. All the localizations in the application have been done using the localization options of the IDE, so whenever I build the application, I get the compiled resources.dll file of the given languages, but I see no way to get a not-compiled XML version of it, to be passed to the translators, so they can do their job and I can compile it later.
View 7 RepliesRecently I was delving into Localization with .NET. Essentially, I learnt how to customize a form (using the Language and Localizable property) and then change the culture accordingly.However, I found that when migrating my hard coded English strings into the auto-generated resource files, and use .GetString("Key") well, let's just say it wasn't happy :P.
I decided to make a separate set of resx files dedicated purely to the hard coded string translations. They followed the convention/requirement of [name].[culture-code].resx. I made of of these for each relevant language; e.g. appstrings.de.resx (For German) and appstrings.resx (as invariant baseline).

I am working on implementing localization in a winforms app and I went the route of setting the Localization property on the form to True and setting the default language to english,spanish, german, dutch and a few more. When I click on English the form displays correctly, when I click on Spanish or French it makes the panels inside the form small and the controls within it small. It doesn't allow me to resize anything or more the panel

I'm in the process of localizing this project, and when I'm making the Japanese version of the forms, the characters display as squares, though they render in my browser correctly. I'm guessing that this is because the default font does not have a glyph for those characters.So, my questions:
Are winforms UTF-8, or some other character encoding?
Is there a way to change the character encoding?
Should I change the font for the Japanese forms, or will Windows do it?
What's the general best practice here?
I want to know that I am copying the characters correctly into my forms, and I want to be able to test them.How can I do this?
Arial Unicode MS does have all the glyphs, but I wasn't using it, because it wasn't in the VS2008 list of fonts. I manually edited the font box to use it, but then Visual Studio throws the message, "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted." I'm guessing that's because VS doesn't have permission to access that font for some reason. I go back to the default font, scary error message goes away.
Then, even when using Arial Unicode MS, the text renders as blocks in the forms titles.Same text renders correctly in labels.I think I want to use the default font, and let Windows handle it. I think I've read that everything from XP on will handle it. Windows 2000 won't, which is a shame, but what ever, I don't know what font I should use, and whatever font it is was excluded from VS.I don't know how to add it without getting lots of error messages about protected memory.Now the problem is, resizing the labels in the form, since the translated text is often larger.
Also, I don't have a support team to do this for me, but I could maybe install extra copies of Windows 7, and change to the Japanese language pack and try to run it.But that becomes a major pain.I thought I read that you could change the language while the application is running, but that doesn't seem to be true.MS docs talk about how to do this, but Windows 7 also tells you that you have to log out to change the language.MS Gothic seems to work, and it's part of VS 2008, but the title bar is still squares. That's really odd, since the same glyphs are in the winform.Is that because title bar fonts are set at a system level, and not the application level?

View 1 RepliesI have been asked, at very short notice of course, to implement exception logging to the Windows Application event Log in one of our products (vb.Net, framework 3.5, WinForms) using EntLib 5. In and of itself this is fine - I can get that working. However, this is for a client who wants messages in Chinese. Certain parts of the app have language resource files and I found a couple of sentences in my MS EntLib Developers Guide book which suggested that I could use an external resource to provide a localised 'friendly' message in a wrap handler within the Exception Handling Block.Unfortunately there was no mention of how to actually achieve this but it seemed straightforward enough. I added a new resource to a resx file which lives at the project level for the project which is common to all areas of the application and re-built to project so that the satellite assemblies were built. I then specified the name of the resource in the 'Message Resource Name' field within the EntLib configuration console. the problem arises when I try and specify the 'Message Resource Type'.
I clicked on the search button and found the satellite assembly I needed, but it did not get added to the list of loaded assemblies and therefore I couldn't select it. The problem is that none of the places where I've seen this feature mentioned actually demonstrate how to get it working so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. The search for the assembly will only let me select a dll or exe so I assume I am supposed to reference the satellite assembly somehow but how do I do this if it won't add it to the list of loaded assemblies?One point to note is that we have a main executable which then calls numerous class libraries to load areas of functionality as required, and the config file we use throughout is the one which belongs to the main executable. Is it the case that you can only use satellite assemblies which are related to the assembly that the config file belongs to?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a project, where the localization is mostly done using resourcefiles/cultures. If a translation does not exist for the language, the default language is used.I recently received the task of reviewing some problems with the translation. Some text is in the default language, some not. Why it has not been translated is not always obvious, as there are cases when the resource files are not used, or have not been translated. I would love to be able to see what is the case without having to check the code.
View 1 RepliesI've a very strange problem with the localization and the default language resx file.I can add a string entry in the file with no problem. After moving or resizing any of the object in the form, the default resx file, resets itself and then my entry is deleted.Has anyone had the same problem??Unfortunately I can't attach a test project I made, 'cause of some security policies of my network. This is the list of operations you have to do, in order to replicate the problem:create a new windows form project;add any object (ie button) and then change its text property to "Example";set the form's property Localizable = Trueselect one of the language in the form's Language property;change again the text property to "Example 2";get back to the "(default)" entry of the language property;open the Form1.resx file then add a string entry, finally save it;try to move or resize the object into the form and then open again the Form1.resx file. You'll se the entry just for a while and then the file resets itself.
