    Multi language tooltips in Windows forms

    Hi,
    I am working on an application which needs localization. I am
    able to localize all the controls on the form except the tool tips. I
    searched alot on google, but was unable to find some sample
    application. Does anyone here have an idea for implementing
    localization easily for tool tips in windows forms application ?

    Another question is about the procedure to implement
    localization in winforms application. I have built a class library
    which has a method named ApplyCulture. This method takes an argument
    of form object by ref and then I iterate through controls collection
    to set strings retrieved from database. This is so because I wanted to
    store my key / value pairs for multilanguage in database instead of
    RESX files. So now the actual question is, whether my approach is
    optimal and obvious ? Or is there anything I can do to make it
    optimal. Also, when you add a RESX file, how does the strings change
    when you change UICulture property of current thread.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
