Language Packs with Visual Basic 2010?

[sk3llgamerZDay]

Anybody know how I would make a multilanguage software by using language packs and a listbox to change the language? Sorta like what CCleaner(legit) did and Security Shield (rouge) did. (Yes I know they're 2 different things) How do I use language packs with my project using a listbox or whatever to select a language..? If anybody knows, please leave a comment. Thanks - Flames

You can use a XML file

your Xml file should be something like this :

<main>
<lang>
<lg1>Something</lg1>
<lg2>Something else</lg2>
..
..
..
</lang>
</main>

then write a code like that to load your xml file

Dim sFileLang As String = Application.StartupPath.ToString & "yourlangfile.xml"
Dim Doc As New XmlDocument
Doc.Load(sFileLang)
For Each lang As Xml.XmlNode In Doc("main")
Dim main As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
For I As Integer = 1 To 2 'here the number of text line you need
lg(I) = lang("lg" & I).InnerText
Next

Finally you can replace text in your sheet as you wish

me.mycontrol.text = lg(1)
me.myothercontrol.text  = lg(2)

use a combobox for selecting the xml file
use something like that to scan your directory containing the lang file and check if the lang file is the correct one

Dim Files As New List(Of String)

        For Each F As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath & "\lang\", "*.xml")
            Try
                Dim XML As New XmlDocument
                XML.Load(F)

                If XML("main")("lang")("lg1").InnerXml = "main" Then
                    Files.Add(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(F))
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
        Next

I hope it will help
