Attribute for non-localizable strings

I just had a thought and wondered if I am missing something or it is a good
suggestion.

Looking at some code, I was sorting through strings that should be put into
a resource file for localization and seeing which ones are not localizable.

I'm used various tools to easily put the strings into a resource file, but
it is still a manual process of evaluating whether a string should be
localized or not.

Over the years it has been different syntax in the variable name to denote
it is not localizable, and I just wondered why there is not a
System.Text.Non LocalizableAttr ibute offered to denote strings that should be
left alone.

If there was a standard attribute for that purpose, then internal (or
external) tools would use that tool to aid in the process of automating the
process transferring strings from the code to a resource file.

Even if we created that attribute in house other 3.rd party tools wouldn't
know to ignore that type of tag. So the code would look better but there
would be limited benefit.

XML-Schema: Attribute Value dependent rules? As far as I can tell XML-Schema does not permit the sepcification of rules that only apply if an attribute has a certain value. For example, in the document below, attribute RemoteServer must be present and non-null if attribute LocalMachine is false, but need not be present if it is true. <Configuration> <Registry LocalMachine="false" RemoteServer="\\SERVER1" RootKey="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"...

Group, New to this list. I just found out that FireFox does not display the img alt attribute the same way IE does. I use both browsers to verify that my pages are readable.

Hi. I have a rather large xml document (object) that can have one or more nodes with a certain attribute throughout (at ANY depth, not at the same level necessarily).

Once found, can someone help me get the XPath at that point? I would then use this to remove the node from...

Is it possible to write an xsl that changes some attributes when applied to an xml document, while preserving rest of it. Is it possible to write this xsl independently of the structure of the xml document itself, and only depend on the expression that identifies the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
