Problem localizing inherited form

[Markus Hjärne]

Hi,

I have a problem trying to localize an inherited form using VS2003. I have
inherited a form from a non-localized base form in a third-party assembly.
Since all controls in the base form is protected there's no problem changing
for example the Text property of inherited Label controls in the designer.
But when I make my inherited form localizable (by setting the Localizable
property of the inherited form to true), change the Language to Swedish,
change a label text to Swedish and then switch back to the Default language,
the label still has the Swedish text, not the inherited English text from
the base form.

Has anybody had the same experience and come up with a solution?

Thankful for any help on this.

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, with a simple sample regarding your scenario, I can reproduce out this
problem. In Inherited Form, the new added control will work well. However,
if we change the localized inherited control property, although it will be
serialized to the localized culture resx file, it also overwrites the
default resx file property value. So when we switch back to default
language, the designer will still get the localized value.

I think this should be a VS.net designer serialization issue. I recommand
you submit a bug request to our product team at the link below:

This may sound basic, but did you rebuild the form?

Hi Jeffrey,

what exactly do you mean by "rebuild the form"? Do you mean rebuild the
project the form is a part of? Yes, I've done that.

Thanks for taking your time. I have submitted a bug request as you
suggested.

I've also found out that the bug is still present in VS2005, although
slightly changed. When I change to Swedish, change the label text and then
toggle Language to (Default) and then back to Swedish, the label text has
been reverted to the base label text.

I did actually report the bug as it appeared in VS2005.
