Syntax

public class LocalizableString

Remarks

If this object is constructed from a plain text string it works like a normal System.String.

To reference a resource ID, create this object from a resource identifier string, in the following format: resource://[AssemblyPath\AssemblyName]/[resource ID], where [AssemblyPath\AssemblyName] is the name of the base assembly (with optional path) that the string resource is located in and [resource ID] is the ID of the string resource from which the localized string should be loaded.

The ResourceManager is used to load the string from the assembly, so a localized version of the string (depending on the current thread locale) should be returned if available.

Constructors

LocalizableString(String)

Create from a literal string or resource identifier.

Declaration

public LocalizableString(string content)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	content	the literal string to use in the construction

Remarks

If the content starts with "assembly://" it is deemed to be a resource identifier.

Resource identifiers use the following format: assembly://[AssemblyPath\AssemblyName]/[resource ID], where [AssemblyPath\AssemblyName] is the name of the base assembly that the string resource is located in (with an optional path, specify this only for assemblies not located in the default application folder) and [resource ID] is the ID of the string resource from which the localized string should be loaded.
