internationalization of MessageBox?

[Pieter]

Hi,

What's the commonly used way to do internationalization of the text in
MessageBoxes?

Thanks a lot in advance,

As far as I know there are two ways:

1) Create your own message box form and use the standard
internationalization techniques there.

2) Pull the text form a resource file and send it to the message box.

Create a separate resource file for each language. To do so, copy
"Resources.resx" and rename the copies to include the language identifier in
their names ("Resources.de.resx", ...). Then change the resource strings
there. Inside the source code you can simply access the resources using
'My.Resources.<resource identifier>. Note that the message box' buttons
cannot be localized. Windows chooses the captions based on the system
settings.
