XafApplication.SetLanguage(String) Method

Sets the specified language for the current application when called before the application windows are shown.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SetLanguage(
    string languageName
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SetLanguage(
    languageName As String
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
languageName	String	A string value representing the name of the language that must be used in the application.

Remarks

XAF application uses the language specified by the IModelApplication.PreferredLanguage property of the Application Model’s IModelApplication node (see Localization Basics). To set another language during application startup, use the SetLanguage method. The method assigns the languageName parameter value to the PreferredLanguage property. So, the specified language will be used even after the application is restarted.

Note

XAF applications are not designed to switch the language during application execution.
