Non-English Warnings

When I use OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(), the dialog is in Dutch (which is
fine for the moment). It says 'Bestandsnaam' for Filename,
'Bestandstypen' for File Types etc. But when I select a non-existing
file, the warning is in English. How can I change the warnings to Dutch
(or to any other language)?

Assuming you have Dutch Windows and this is happening in a program you wrote
(not one whose warning messages were composed by another programmer), this
sounds like a bug in Dutch Windows.

Do you have the same problem in a non .NET app?
If so that is a problem in the dutch version of windows.

When I choose a non-existing path, the Windows-generated warning is in
plain Dutch. When I choose a non-existing file, the warning is in
English. I leave it this way, I won't bother with home-grown
MessageDialogs and just hope that future versions of Windows have this
bug fixed (Windows XP .NET 2.0)

Agreed with the others. It's likely a Windows bug, in particular if the
corresponding WinAPI function "GetOpenFileName()" has the same problem
(which will likely be the case since the class is just a wrapper around the
latter function). You might want to test "SaveFileDialog" as well (and its
WinAPI counterpart "GetSaveFileName()").
 
Martijn,

This is something I reported once to a dotNet team and I got the idea that
they have taken this very serious, however are you sure that there is a
Dutch Net version installed with the the extentions for that, depending on
your Net version. (Then you hold what you told still in certain situations,
however in the most common not).

They are the last times very late with the language versions excluding
Chinese in my idea, so there will be in Holland probably a lot of English
versions installed.

There is of course no Beta Dutch Net version.

No, I'm not sure of that. How can I check which language version is
installed? And how can I check the .NET version (1.0, 2.0...) installed
and running on my machine?

For starters, look under Control Panel, Administrative Tools.

By the way, you can (and probably should) have several .NET versions (1.1
and 2.0 and maybe 3.0). Your .NET software will use the right one.

I'm not quite sure how .NET language versions work, though.
