Adding Localized Resources to a Project

ComponentOne Scheduler for WPF and Silverlight projects can be localized. To add localized resources to your project:

Create a copy of the .resx files included with ComponentOne Scheduler for WPF and Silverlight. These resource files are installed in C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for WPF\C1WPFNewSchedule\DefaultResources and C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for Silverlight\Samples\C1.Silverlight.Schedule\ C1Scheduler_Localization\DefaultResources\ by default.

Rename the copied resource files using the following file naming convention:

  base_filename[.optional RFC 1766 culture info string].resx

For example:

TimeStrings.de.resx

TimeStrings.fr.resx

Note: Do not change the base_filename part of the file name or the controls will not be able to find your resources.

Translate the string values within the resource files.
Add the localized resources to your project /Resources folder. Open the .csproj file in the text editor and add your culture to the list of supported cultures:
<SupportedCultures>de;fr </SupportedCultures>.

After rebuilding your project, satellite assemblies will be added into the resulting .xap file.

The following resource files are used in the C1.Silverlight.Schedule assembly:

Resource File	Description
C1.Schedule.Categories.resx	Contains localizable names for default appointment categories.
C1.Schedule.EditAppointment.resx	Contains localizable strings for default EditAppointmentTemplate.
C1.Schedule.EditRecurrence.resx	Contains localizable strings for default EditRecurrenceTemplate.
C1.Schedule.Exceptions.resx	Contains localizable error messages which might be shown to end user.
C1.Schedule.Labels.resx	Contains localizable names for default appointment labels.
C1.Schedule.MiscStrings.resx	Contains localizable strings used for describing recurrence pattern.
C1.Schedule.RecChoice.resx	Contains localizable strings for Open/Remove recurrence dialogs.
C1.Schedule.SelectFromListScene.resx	Contains localizable strings for SelectFromListScene control.
C1.Schedule.ShowReminders.resx	Contains localizable strings for default ShowRemindersTemplate.
C1.Schedule.Statuses.resx	Contains localizable names for default availability statuses.
C1.Schedule.TimeStrings.resx	Contains localizable strings for the C1TimeSpanPicker control.
C1.Silverlight.resx	Contains localizable strings for the C1MessageBox control.

Note: You can localize only the part of these files. For example, if you use customEditAppointmentTemplate, you do not need resources from the C1.Schedule.EditAppointment.resx.
