I have a system.resx resources file that is used in a SubmitClick method
Protected Sub SubmitClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
(...)
If (... AndAlso ...) Then
SetError(Resources.system.groupNoAdminTran)
End If
End Sub
My problem is that no matter how I try to unit test this, the test will fail when the SetError is hit with a:"Could not load file or assembly 'App_GlobalResources' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
Is it possible to load a dll from a resx file?

View 2 RepliesThis is a question about creating localized resources for VB projects.
I can easily add resource strings to the file resources.resx. To localize these strings, I need to create a localized version of the resource file, for example resources.de.resx for German.
I actually created a localized resource file by hand in the "My Project" directory and tried to added it to the project (via "add existing item"). To my surprise, it copied the file down into the main project directory.
Normally I would keep original resx file and the localized resx file in the same directory.
Am I missing something, or is the resource support in "My Project" not thought through with regard to localization?
How to create AssemblyInfo.vb, Resources.resx and Application.myapp in vb.net 2005? I recently see these things come along with vb.net sample code everywhere.

View 10 RepliesIm using "Visual Basic 2010 Express", and for now all i did was learning how does it work and some basic codes.
I click twice in "MyApplication" in the "Solution Explorer", and then go to "Resources". I added 3 pictures that i need and in Properties>Persistence i chose "Embedded in .resx"
Then i search in Windows Explorer my Resources.resx file and its size is now increased by those three pictures.
Then i create a picturebox named "picturebox1" and call that picture[code]...
atm i have this If TreeView1.SelectedNode.Name = 2 Then WebBrowser1.Url = My.Resources.Welcome End If
and it doesn't work so if you could please provide an example that world be grate.Also i don't really know how the treeview control works, i know with the combo box or listbox you just have an index of 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. but with the treeview you don't any just one of the things i want to do is whenever the root node is selected i want it to deselect that and select the node that i specify like node.name = 2.
I had a program going along swimmingly until I tried to change the name for form1 to something more meaningful. Now It is all messed up and I am getting the dreaded resx error. Is there any hope in salvaging this?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a vb6 to vb.net migration project using VS 3.5. In my application, there is .resx file and some icons are there in this file (eg: icoIN,icoUS etc). On click of a checked listbox (which is filled with country names), the particular country flag should be displayed on a picture box control. The image of country flag is taken from the .resx file.I tried with the following code.[code]
View 2 RepliesHow to migrate .RESX file when changing .NET Framework... I was changing the .NET framework from 4.0 to 3.5 (because of an incompatbility we discovered in a third party dll) and everything went fine except some .RESX file got messed up.

View 2 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.

View 15 RepliesHere is my problem: I developed one application in VB.Net in VS 2008 Express Edition on MS Vista. I published the application and created the installation setup. Now when I install this application on any Vista machine, it runs without any problems, but if I install it on an XP machine, the installation is clean, but when I launch the application, it ends abruptly without any warnings/error just after the splash screen.
Then to investigate further what I did was that I copied the source project from my VS 2008 Express Edition on Vista to an XP machine having full (VS 2008 Team System) version , and when I try to compile it there (XP/VS2008 Full), I get one error in one of the forms resx file. Incidently this is the same form that gets loaded after the splash screen. So I see there is some correlation between my application ending just after the splash screen and failing to compile the main form of the application. The error that I get reads like: "Invalid resx file. The parameter is incorrect Line 1374, position 5."

View 3 RepliesI'm currently developing a compact program, but i need to use some .dll as references. Thats ok! But the problem is, i need the .dll reference together in the same directory as the program which i dont want to, since i need it to be compact, just on .exe.
Is there any way to load the .dll reference via the Resources or another way?
I have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed and lately it is taking longer and longer to bring up a Resource File (.resx) in its standard editor. Some of the file loads up, but you can see that the screen does not paint/render it 100%.I tried doing some searching on the web and the only thing I came across was doing a edit to the GDIProcessHandleQuota registry entry from 10,000 to 20,000. This appeared to work initially, but the problem came back the next day.I am doing an extensive localization project and this is severely limiting the amount of work I get done.
