.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Internationalization / January 2006Localizing problem on winform - bug!
Vs 2005, a windows form. Was set up to be localizable, was using english and french all worked fine until I started having to do some modifications to bound datatables and their binding sources. All this work of course in the default language and everything works fine on my form when either executing or in the IDE in the default language. However, when I switch over to French on that form in the IDE it takes about 45 seconds, my properties for the form get blanked out, the form designer gets blanked out and I get the following message with big red X in the designer window. I had been able to switch over to french regularly during development to change control text as needed. Now I get One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes. The designer loader did not provide a root component but has not indicated why. There are no errors listed in the error list and the only way I can get back to my work is by closing the designer and saying no to a save, then selecting the form again and it comes up in my default language. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I tried making the form non localizable and then making it localizable again, but the same thing keeps happening. As far as I'm concerned, its another bug. Anyone else had similar problems? Bob Yes, I had similar problems. It destroyed most of a localized form and I had to use a backup file. Guess the safest way is to localize the application at the very end of development, but at least for me this is not acceptable. So backup your code often because it's a time consuming process - I'm sure you have recognized that. Michael > Vs 2005, a windows form.

I was feeling adventurous and said what the hell, save changes, had nothing to loose. Then tried to reopen the form and look and behold! It appeared in french. And time consuming, you're not kidding. And they sold this to us under the guise of a RAPID application development tool, BS! Any ways Michael, thansk for reading and replying I hope our misfortune helps others.

[quoted text clipped - 51 lines] >>> >>> Bob Garrett, I would have done it, but the problem is that it's not reproducable, so when filing a bug at the Product Feedback Center, you will likely set it to "Not reproducable". Localizing works in 99% of the time but if it fails, it will destroy most of your work. Usually the complete initialization code is removed from the *.designer.cs file, while the declaration of the control variables are still in there. I'm always doing the same, changing the form's language between default and German, localize some controls, and suddenly it happens. Even though I faced this bug several times, I cannot tell you any steps to repro, except doing exactly this until it happens - and it may take a long time until it breaks.

Though it's not exactly the same as Bob and I described, I hope that it leads to the right direction when investigating the overall problem.
