It does not depends of the windows language version. It depends of the language setting (which is in a german system standard german) and the used Net version (which is mostly then also german in the german case). Of course your own language will be as you used them and you have to check the culture settings for those.

Be aware that this was in som cases a mess in old Net versions where you could get often some mixed language messages.

Hi,

I need to mofidy my project to work in europe with spanish, german etc.

I figure there are four areas that I have to modify to cope with showing the needed language.

1- Labels of controls on forms.
2- Text I display in message boxes
3- Error messages (err.description)
4- Error message from the database (SQL Server)

I have taken a look at some information on MSDN, and from what I can figure I have to use a resource file, and put my messages i want to display into the resource file. That covers items 1 and 2. I am only struggling to use the resource files in my app, either setting my form controls when I load them, or getting a string value from the resource file to show in my message boxs.. any help on how to do this would be great...

Where I am getting a bit lost is on 3 and 4.

I often show the user the actual err.description value. If my user is using say German Windows, will the err.description be in german automaticlly ?

I also show the error from SQL Server. If the user has German SQL Server will this also mean that all sql messages that go to the client be in German?

Thanks

.
