Question on Localization

i have another few questions about localization is there any walkthroughs for building a application to be multilingual for .net 2005 beta2. And also what is the best way to update resources from outside the project. I know winres will work to update each form, but how do you compile to a dll from outside the project, because i would like to just ship the exe and reference a dll for resources can this be done ?. I hope you dont mind me asking these questions.

thanks in advance i would not ask but i am pulling my hair out to get around this

Hi Kered,

I found a bunch of stuff for ASP.NET 2.0, but I think you are referring to Windows Forms Apps. It is a good idea to have it as Resource based DLL and then ship the DLL. Now, when you ship the new DLL, the version number changes and you would need to either have a publisher policy or a binding redirect directly in the config file for the app.

For Publisher Policy File, read this:

For info on version redirection, read this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/7wd6ex19(en-us,vs.80).aspx

Also: Here is a good link on Architecture of Localization:
