Dear all,

I'm developing an appliction for multi-language environment and want to know
how to set product name in different language. I found that AssemblyProduct
in AssemblyInfo seems to be static and cannot change Application.ProductName
in run-time.

Thanks for your attention and kindly help!

Regards,
James Wong

Hi James,

...yes, the Application.ProductName is one of the assembly attributes:
<Assembly: AssemblyProduct("")> 'if this is empty, it would be the
assembly name.

it would be hardcode into the assembly in the compile time.
So why not use a string object instead which you localize it in the
run-time?


Thanks!

Hi! Gary,

Thanks for your reply!

Do you mean that I should define my own string variable to store product
name instead of using Forms.Application.ProductName? Since in my previous
or existing applications (which are in local language only), I use
Forms.Application.ProductName to get product name. Now I need to modify
them into multi-language support, so I have to make it dynamic. If there is
no other means, I have to change my codes to redirect the source of product
name.

Regards,
James Wong

Hi James,

Chua is right. Satellite Assemblies is what you need for resource
localization. Please refer to the following MSDN topic for more details on
how to create satellite assemblies and retrieve resources in satellite
assemblies.

Hi Yanhong and Chua,

Thanks for your reply! I'll study satellite assemblies to solve my problem.
