View 2 Repliesi 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?
The full error text is as follows: The Visual Studio language support for VB has not been installed. Code-editing IntelliSense will not be available. Markup IntelliSense for server controls may not work.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. Visual Studio crashed yesterday and now I'm getting this error when I try to edit any code-behind in any project.I have tried resetting all environment settings and that didn't work.I have tried repairing my installation via add/remove programs and that didn't work.
I have tried reinstalling SP1 and that didn't work.I tried creating a new VB Windows project and received the following error: Project "TestVB" could not be opened because the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 compiler could not be created. Please re-install Visual Studio. However, I already tried the repair/reinstall.
I'm not sure what else to try beyond a full uninstall/reinstall, and I'm hoping somebody has encountered and fixed this problem without having to do that.UPDATE: I have tried uninstalling Visual Studio, rebooting and then installing again and that didn't work. I am now out of options and really need my VB environment restored.
I have an multi-database ODBC connection through a DSN. There is a primary database and two auxiliary catalogs. The Add Tables dialog in Microsoft Query only shows the tables in the primary database. If I pick one and continue on, the lists of columns in other parts of MS Query show all the columns in both the primary and auxiliary databases. If I pick a column, MS Query will look for that column in the primary database (great if it happens to be there, not so great if it doesn't). If I don't use any of the drop-down lists and just write a query in the freeform SQL editor, fully qualifying everything with the catalog names, the query runs fine.It looks as though MS Query is assuming only one database and one (default) catalog, and doesn't realize that it actually connected to several databases with separate catalogs.I get the same results with Office 2003 and Office 2007.Are multiple databases / multiple catalogs through a single DSN supported in Excel / Microsoft Query?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
I am a Network Administrator in the Army so programming is not my strong area. I have been messing with Batch files and WMI, just recently i started VB Scripts (VERY BASIC) like adding an input box to set computer name, scan network for computer name on domain, return wmi info for that remote computer etc... I know there are programs out there that can do all of this, however the Army will only allow certain approved programs to be installed on government workstations, i have been using .Bat files to gather info which is fine, however it is very time consuming when you have entire subnets with computers, networked printers, etc to place into a spreadhseet for higher headquarters tracking not to mention the over 20 columns of required data to track for each computer. I have VB 2010 Express, working on a Windows Form Application Project. Goal is to interface my VB Script (written with notepad) with a GUI that will generate an internal spreadsheet on the form window in a datagridview. So far i have the basic window and i have my gridview with my column headers set. How do i get the data into the columns and rows accordingly.
Application Basic: Execute Program, in main window select button (Scan IP Range) <--- I want this to open an input box for the beginning subnet, input base address to start scan from, next input box for end range, then msgbox for start scan. i want the results of the scan to autofill the datagridview and add new row for each IP address that had a ping reply, returning valid data from WMI results as it receives the data. What would be the best method to achieve my goal. i am not asking you to write the program, i have been looking and studying MULTIPLE sites, think i just need another set of eyes on this to unlock the knowledge i have locked away, if ya know what i mean. Also, if you don't mind let me know what you think of this app im trying to turn out... Super Thanks for your help.This is the Base Batch File running. It calls an external VB Script written in notepad. (I want this implemented into the app form so there is no console window.)This is the inputbox from external VB Script that is called.This the result of the external VB Script (the info i want to put in the datagridview of the app.)I also, for some reason can't get scroll bars to show in the app when i hit F5, theres about 15 columns passed the MAC column...?
hen you add for example German language you will have these files: formMain.resx ormMain.de-DE.resx formMain.Designer.vb formMain.vbIn first file you will have resources for neutral language, like strings, images, ..So now you need to add also resources for strings used in code. Add a new resource file and name it formMain.Strings.resx Then i will enter name, value pair for every string that should be translated. When you add resource file then it is automatically typed because another file with name ormMain.Strings.Designer.cs is automatically regenerated on every close of resx designer.Add another resource with name formMain.Strings.de-DE.resx. Add the same Name key's from previous resource, and just change the Value with coresponding german words. Now to access created resource from the source it will be like this

View 7 RepliesI have a small program that is used for managing media libraries for some software front-ends. Basically, it reads in the files of a directory and, one-by-one, creates a new directory by each file name and moves the respective file into the new folder.Everything works well, but I am wanting to extend the functionality a bit.I would like to include multi-part file detection so that titles that are named as such:
movie-disc1.avi
movie-disc2.avi
would be moved into a single folder named movie. The files would not be renamed.As of now, I simply have an option that will allow the user to ignore certain files that match a regex pattern:
Dim m As Match = Regex.Match(IO.Path.GetFileName(filePath), "(.*?)([ _.-]*(?:cd|dvd|p(?:ar)?t|dis[ck]|d)[ _.-]*[0-9]+)(.*?)(.[^.]+)$")
Is there any tool specific to build a multi language application? And in general what is the procedure to be followed when you want to create a multi language application??
View 7 RepliesI'm building a multi language application, but in the application, there will be some data that will be retrieved from the db. In the db I have two tables (Access Groups, Teams) the two tables are related, there are some groups, that have teams, example (sellers can belong to team 1, team 2, team 3...). The data that will change it's the names for the access groups and the names for the teams. The only way that I can think to do this, is to have the different values for all the languages in the code, or some auxiliar file, and when loading the application I'll truncate the two tables and fill them with the current language values. By the way those values never change...
View 5 RepliesVS 2008 SP1. I cannot get my application to display in English, it always displays in French. I have an application that uses 2 languages. The default language is en-GB and the second language is French. For setting the text of the buttons and labels. I have set the localized property to true and changing the language to fr-FR on the form. So setting the default languages controls by choosing the default the language property, and then switching to French language to set the French controls. So I have the following files:
formMain.resx
formMain.fr-FR.resx
formMain.Designer.vb
formMain.vb
And for message boxes and other strings I have added these 2 resource files
formMain.Strings.resx
formMain.Strings.fr-FR.resx
So if I want to switch to different languages I have changed the cultureInfo as follows:
If My.Settings.Default.Language = "fr-FR" Then
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-GB")
End If
And for string I use the following: MessageBox.Show(formMain_Strings.SameStringName)
I also an address book form that is a child of the formMain. Which I have used the same method. However, the address book works as normal, but the formMain never changes to the language I want. Even though tested by explictly setting the language to en-GB in the form constuctor before the inializeComponent() it will always default to French. Not sure why the address book (child) work correctly, the parent form (formMain) will always display in French, no matter if I have set this to en-GB. I am 100% that my method is correct using what I have show you above. I was thinkng about deleting the formMain and creating a new one. But that would mean doing everything again and would take too long.

View 1 RepliesI am developing heavy mathematical engineering windows application in VB.NET (VS2005) with MSAccess Db. This application has resource files in English, Spanish and German Language. I have same setup to run in all these 3environment Windows XPs. In English, calculations are perfect; but in Spanish ',' is treated as '.' and '.' is treated as ',' e.g. 12.24 in EN is '12,24' in Spanish. I somehow managed to do it by manually replacing ',' by '.' and vice versa; but this is now not manageable since program is expading like anything. I saved number in DB while installing. User selects his language and so I check, if its Spanish, I explicitly replace "." in labels and text in TextBox to ",".
View 2 RepliesIn my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

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.
View 1 RepliesI'm adding multi-threading facilities for the first time. I have a function that is wrapped to be run in a separated thread. This function retrieves data (text) from a combobox and it works for sure without multi-threading.
When I call it as multi-threaded, I get the following error when I try to retrieve the data from the cmobobox: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'cmb1stBL' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It looks like a restriction of thread-safety... I assume that the child thread cannot read from his parent, to make sure that he doesn't change his parent data. So how can I read the data from the combobox? Should I read the comoboxbox data before calling the child thread?
