Hello all,

Im developing a windows mobile application(6.0) and im using two resource files,for two languages. I load the resource file on load of each form,and it takes a little time to load,when the forms have a lot of labels,or textboxes.

this is the function i use to set the language,and i call it when form loads.

C#

public static void ChangeLanguage(Form forma)
       {
           foreach (Control c in forma.Controls)
           {
               ComponentResourceManager resources = new ComponentResourceManager(forma.GetType());
               resources.ApplyResources(c, c.Name, new CultureInfo(glob_lang));
           }
       }

Is there any other way to do this,for example set the language in the main form(for all application),and the other forms dont need to call the function anymore?

Thanx in advance!

Solution 1

Add this to entry point(Main, usually in Program.cs, static void Main()):

C#

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(glob_lang);

Also try Localisation :
.NET - Localization using Resource file[^]

Yes i have read about it,but then i have to set the variables for each textbox,label etc,and there are a lot of it. I use the visualstudio language properties to create the resource files.
