Hey All, I'm trying to use WinRes to do localization into French from
English. When I open the resx file I get the following error:

Warning: Failed to load the type for component 'Details'.
Error - Failed to load the resource due to the following error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
at Microsoft.Tools.WinRes.ResourcesLoader.SetProperti es(IResourceReader
resourceReader)
at Microsoft.Tools.WinRes.ResourcesLoader.BeginLoad(I DesignerLoaderHost
designerLoaderHost)

"Details" is a dataset on the form. I've made sure that winres.exe is in
the same directory as all of the dependancy DLLs because I was having
problems with that, and the base forms that everything inherits from load
just fine. It's just the DataSet issue that is causing it to stop before it
loads any of the child form's controls (most of the components loaded).

Anyone have any suggestions? Is there an updated WinRes somewhere that fixes
this? I've tried it with Vs.net 2005 and Vs.net 2005 SP1 and still get the
same problem. I've searched the net like crazy and can't find anything that
really solves the problem just people saying "ya, that sucks, it's a known
issue" without any resolution and I would have tghought that if there is a
resolution that it would be in SP1 of Vs.net 2005....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've seen a report similar to this one, though I don't know if a similar
same solution will apply.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work :<

Anyone have any ideas on how to localize a Winform with a data set on it and
use WinRes?

Thanks!

Hi James, there must be something else. I have tried creating a Form with a DatagridView, a Dataset, a TableAdapter and aBindingSource and I get a warning on both the DataSet and the TableAdapter but I can
still open the form. (and my objects have German charachters in their names, so they are not like TableAdapter1 or so). I'm not sure I can help you more than this if I don't get to reproduce the problem.
One thing you could do, is to go to the Connect site and directly open a bug there <http://connect.microsoft.com/> - someone would look at it for sure.
