Localizing Your DevExpress-powered .NET App – Your Feedback Matters

We hope to validate a few hypotheses about our Localization Service, Unified Component Installer, overall localization quality, and ways to translate strings in general.

XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs.ResourceStringID Property

Gets the value of the enumeration member in StringIDType that corresponds to the processed resource string, or the value that uniquely identifies the form’s UI element/control.

Namespace: DevExpress.Utils.Localization

Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Data

#Declaration

public string ResourceStringID { get; }

#Property Value

Type Description
String

The value of the enumeration member in StringIDType that corresponds to the processed resource string.

#Remarks

Use the e.StringID and e.ResourceStringID parameters to obtain the enumeration member and its value in e.StringIDType, which correspond to the processed resource string.

private static void XtraLocalizer_QueryLocalizedString(object sender, XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs e) {
    if(e.StringIDType == typeof(DevExpress.XtraGrid.Localization.GridStringId)) {
        if(e.StringID is DevExpress.XtraGrid.Localization.GridStringId.MenuColumnFilterMode) {
            /*
             * e.StringID = MenuColumnFilterMode (Enum)
             * e.StringIDType = DevExpress.XtraGrid.Localization.GridStringId (Type)
             * e.ResourcestringID = "GridStringId.MenuColumnFilterMode" (String)
             */
        }
    }
}

Note

When handling the QueryLocalizedStringContainerResource event, the e.ResourceStringID parameter gets a value that uniquely identifies the form’s UI element/control that requested the resource string ({ContainerType}.{controlName}.{propertyPath}).

void XtraLocalizer_QueryLocalizedStringContainerResource(object sender, XtraLocalizer.QueryLocalizedStringEventArgs e) {
    if(e.ResourceStringID == "DevExpress.XtraBars.Customization.CustomizationControl.btClose.Text")) {  
        // ...
    }
}
