assemblies / dll / resourcemanager

[Maileen]

Hi,

I've created an assembly where are stores some strings.
By using menu items, user can change language of application GUI (so using the strings in my assemblies)

1. how can i compile my resx into dll ?
2. how can i use a resourcemanager to manage the resources ?
3. how can i do this (1. and 2.) without restarting application or form (due to initializecompo nent function present in sub new of my form) ?

thanks a lot
Maileen

This can be done by creating localized satellite assemblies which contain
the resources:

Re: assemblies / dll / resourcemanager

I have one additional question :

in the example, the resource have the same name as the application. how can i give them another name ?
and how to store them in another folder ?

something like :
application_pat h\lang_en.dll

instead of application_pat h\en\applicatio nname.resources .dll

thanks a lot,
Maileen
