Aligning Visual Studio .NET Project Files

 

The resource files (RESX) of a Visual Studio .NET project can be collectively added to an RC-WinTrans translation project.  The files of a .NET project can also be aligned with an RC-WinTrans project during the software development process, so that the contents of the RC-WinTrans project will match those of the .NET project and vice versa (i.e., new RESX files are added or removed as required).

 

The following will be discussed in this topic:

1.

How to add all the RESX resource files in a Visual Studio .NET software project to an RC-WinTrans translation project.

2.

How to align (match the contents of) the RESX resource files in a Visual Studio .NET software project with the files contained in an RC-WinTrans translation project.

 

 

Adding Files from a .NET Project to an RC-WinTrans Translation Project

 

Create a new translation project or open an existing project.

From the File menu use Align .Net Files... to open the Visual Studio .NET Project dialog box.

Use the Browse... button to select the Visual Studio project file (*.csproj, *.vbproj, or *.vcproj).

>>  The RESX files will be listed on the Project Files property page.

Select all the files shown in the listbox and press the Add button to add the files to the RC-WinTrans translation project.

 

 

Aligning the RESX Files from a .NET Project with an RC-WinTrans Translation Project

 

 

Check if RESX files have been added or removed from the Visual Studio .NET Project.

>>  In the File menu, select the Align .Net Files... command to open the Visual Studio Project dialog box.  The files list on the Resource Files Alignment property page will indicate whether or not a file is contained in the Visual Studio project and/or in the RC-WinTrans project.

 

Add new files to the Visual Studio project and the RC-WinTrans project, or remove files from the RC-WinTrans project that are no longer in the Visual Studio project.  The respective command buttons ("Add to" and "Remove from") are located on the  Resource Files Alignment property page.
