Windows Form with String Table

Question

I have Normal Windows Form (WinForm) C# (.Net 3.5) application, this application has label with text and menus and etc... also this application display sometimes Message Boxes to the user, and write some information to files.

I would like that all information that the user can see (by GUI or by files) will be manage by (One, if it possible) String Table. My problem is that I can't find how to move all of my GUI controllers texts to a string table in the resources file.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can bind the Text property of the labels to either an application setting or string resource in the Forms Designer's properties window.

Answer 2

For forms and other GUIO components, set their Localizable property to true. This will automatically move texts to resource files.

For sting literals in your code, the resource refactoring tool is your friend
