Hi,
Currently I am designing a tool in VB.Net for automation of a datawarehousing tool called DataStage. I have to run this tool through command prompt in VB.Net. The command is
dsjobs –server xx.xxx.xx.xx –user abcd –password wxyz –run
[Project] [Job] [List of parameters]
Application path is the location where datastage client is installed in the local machine.
Other attributes like:
-lparam: Give the list of parameters for a particular job
-ljobs: List all the jobs in a particular project
-lprojects: List all the projects available in the server
-run: To run a job
-stop: To stop a job etc….
Now can anyone help me how to put these in VB.Net and how to fetch the results of these commands. Because based on the results of these commands I have to create dynamic text boxes.
It looks complicated, but can anyone who knows this help me out ?
Thanks in advance.

Process.Start is basically shellexecute, you can pass your parameters through there.

What is the best way to make my program in several languages? Should I create text files that contain label text, window titles, messagebox texts in different langugaes or what do you recommend?

Store all your strings in the application resources and ship different resource files.

I a bit of a beginner. How do you do this in practice? Could you give me an example? Let's say label1.Text is in Finnish "Jotain" and in English "Something".

That is how I would do it, except I would use an Ini file. Using an Ini file would make the process of organizing text between controls and dialogs a lot easier.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

OK, I have never used INI files. Could you give me some practical example or reference in web? Thanks?

The way I said to do it, is the way that the framework fully supports.

Try this article: INI File Class.
If you need further help, just search CodeProject for "Ini Files".

You mean to tell me that you're going to go through the hassel of reading the text file and changing the Text property of every control in your application yourself? Why not just let the Framework do it for you??

I hate the way the .NET Framework handles stuff like that, I prefer to do it the old fashioned way. Personal preference.

It handles it much better than you do. How about a case where your application has a couple dozen forms and a couple hundred controls? I bet your method is pretty slow.

NSIS and many others manage.

Speaking in terms of practicality, don't listen to MatrixCoder. Use the resource files as Christian suggests, because practically speaking you'll find more tools to help you with those (in regards to editing for multi-language that is), and INI files are a tad slower anyway.

Now does it really? I have some comments to add to this subject. First the question is requesting a -Best practice- solution. The best practice is NOT an ini-file approach. Even if it is easier to update and or add new language text to an application, coding it into the app is a different story. I believe, and here the best practice part will come in, you should consider a solution what uses as less code as practically possible. This will keep the change of errors down and will in most case result in a more readable and function orientated code. The framework can deal with all the pluming required for a multilingual application, why not use it? Don't underestimate the impact a different culture or region setting can have on the requirements of your app. There is a lot of joy to gain from producing a multilingual application.
Have fun coding it.
All this is of course my opinion and your comments is welcome.

Hi Dear,
The way possible could be using database to handle it.Create table with with columns like id , code , conversion and languageid .then use a function or dll to convert it into required lanuage .
Take note Change in language would require you to reload application.
Thanks & Pleasure

You asked for best practices. They're covered here[^].

Although I have not done this yet, I do believe the best approach is the DB approach. A function wrapper to the DB using an ID would allow you to retrieve translations from multiple languages without application reloads, etc. Also, with a local caching mechanism this approach would be very close to the Resource file approach with regard to performance and would allow you the most flexibility.
Again, I have not done this and I would like to hear others thoughts as well before investing a lot of time on this effort.
I would also like to see a discussion on supporting multi currency but perhaps that should be a new message thread.

This doesn't work if you don't have a database.
There's no need to retrieve anything if you use the .NET methods. The CLR will do it for you out of the resources you include with your app. Why write a bunch of code when you don't have to write ANY?

What do you mean ? Do you want to control it, or just use it ? Do you even understand what it does ? I mean, it's hard to tell from your half question.
