resources and dll ??

[mathieu]

Hi, I was wondering what is the best way to include resource in
library. I saw an example with a library which only contained one
class (Person) and the resources file associated with it (Person.resx
and Person.en.resx) . But what if my library contains 50 classes ?? Is
there a way to put all resources for a library in one file per
language? If so how can it be done, what is the name of the resource
file.

thanks

Hi

you are basically looking for satellite assemblies.

check the below links which shows you how to create satellite assemblies

Hi,

Is there a way to put all resources for a library in one file per
language?
Definitely yes. Create an assembly resource file and store all the resources
there.
If so how can it be done, what is the name of the resource
file.
Anything you want it to be. Your task will then be to determine the actual
name to pass to the ResourceManager constrcutor. This name usually is
constructed like this:

<namespace>.<ch osen-name>

So if your namespace is "Foo.Bar.CoolAp p" and you've named the file
"Strings.re sx", the name you should supply to ResourceManager is

Foo.Bar.CoolApp .Strings

For other languages, create additional resource files called like:

Strings.fr-FR.resx

These will be compiled into sattellite assemblies and retrieved
automatically given the sattellite assemblies are deployed to the correct
location and the desired culture is set as the value of the CurrentUICultur e
property of the current thread.
