Currently my time is limited, so I am not sure when I have some to update this. Right now it is just containing the old information page from codeplex
LanguageXML is a little .net 2.0 based Toolset (Library and Editor) to add Multi-Language capabilities to your Application. It is using XML-Files for the Language-Data...
Most is written in VB.net, but some included Components are C# - so the Solution is mixed Language...
The basic Poject was started at the end of 2007 based on my private needs.
- uses File-Format that can be edited by every User without the need to re-compile any Component
- is available in Source for VB.net Applications (that was something I "needed" at that Time, because I wanted to create an App in VB.net that was only one .exe-File)
- basic Functions (Handle Language-Files and the Values) can be used on (ported to) a Windows Smartphone
- if possible, 100% managed and Platform independent
The first Version of the Library and a simple Editor was "finished" in early '08. It was based on a simple Dataset using a few Tables and had some features for a very simple (but already recursive) Features to "auto-apply" a Language to a Windows-Form.
In '09 I've started to exend the Library to improve the "auto-apply" to even more Controls on a Form. I also started to create a second (completely new) Version of the File-Editor, because it was not "End-User-friendly". Also the optimized XML-Format for saving the Data was developed in that time - it is much more human-readable and requires less overhead compared to Dataset-Tables saved as XML-File... ;-)
In 2010 (using the current Version at work and in some other Projrcts) I tested the Library with Mono - and got some Problems. Re-Opening the Code reminded me, that it was always planned to be Open Source and free for everyone. So I created this Page...
The Toolset is in use; the Library itself has no known Bugs at this time. Some litte improvements must be done on the Editor - for even better usability.
If you plan / have to create Multi-Language in your Apps just give it a try...
- some features I want are still missing
- not running on Mono yet, Path problems because of wrong methods for creating a path for internal use
