Globalization in Windows Forms - Application with multi language support

This blog is the continuation of .Net Globalization blog.
If you want to have a global market for your project then you have to plan for implementing multi language support.

Create a form as shown below.










Add Another form. This is the form whose language text we are planning to change based on the selection from the combobox of first form. Give English Texts to Form and Controls.










Select the form set the Localizable property to True and Language to French(France).

















Now select the existing controls and change its Text property to corresponding French equivalent as shown in the figure.



















Go back to the first form where you can select the language.
In this form we are going to change the culture of the current thread based on the culture
Explanations and additional information will follow soon.


using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

private void cboLang_SelectedIndexChanged(object

sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(cboLang.Text == "French")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new

CultureInfo("fr-FR");
else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new

CultureInfo("en-US");

}

private void btnShowForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs

e)
{
frmLang fl = new frmLang();
fl.Show();
}

VB .Net

Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading

Public Class Form1

Private Sub cboLang_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboLang.SelectedIndexChanged

If cboLang.Text = "English" Then
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")
Else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
End If

End Sub

Private Sub btnShowForm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShowForm.Click

Dim fl As New frmLang
fl.Show()
End Sub

End Class


Now when you run the application, select French from the ComboBox and click show form the French form will appear and when you select English, English form will appear.

Contact Management System VB .Net Windows Generated Code

This is the windows generated code for the Contact Management System project.
The purpose of this blog is easy recreation of the visual intereface of the project for my student comunity.

The .Net Windows Form of Visual Studion 2008 is made up of two partial classes and a resource file.

If you click the Show All Files icon in the Solution solution explorer then you cann see all the files I have mentioned before.

If you replace the InitializeComponents function with your visual intereface code then you will get a new visual interface.

Many To Many Relationship Table Script

I am creating a database for tracking the Cricketers and their types. By types I mean Batsman, Bowler, Wicket Keeper, etc.
The issue is a Cricketer might belong to different type. For Example Kapil Dev is both a Batsman and a Bowler.
Inorder to solve this I should create a third table referred to as Junction Table apart from Cricketer and Type tables which is having reference to both Crickter and Type tables and a Composite Key. Here I name it Cricketer Type.

Create database Cricket

use Cricket

Create table Cricketer (CricketerId int identity(1,1) primary key,Cricketer varchar(40))

Create table Type (TypeId int identity(1,1) primary key,Type varchar(40))

insert into Cricketer values ('Sumesh')
insert into Cricketer values ('Nithin')
insert into Cricketer values ('Shalvin')

insert into Cricketer values ('Mongia')
insert into Type values ('Batsman')
insert into Type values ('Bowler')
insert into Type values ('Wicket Keeper')

create table CricketerType(primary key (CricketerId, TypeId),CricketerId int references Cricketer(CricketerId),TypeId int references Type(TypeId) )

insert into CricketerType values (1, 1)
insert into CricketerType values (1, 3)
insert into CricketerType values (2, 2)
insert into CricketerType values (3, 3)
insert into CricketerType values (4, 3)

select * from Cricketer
select * from Type
select * from CricketerType

select C.CricketerId, C.Cricketer, T.Type from Cricketer C, Type T,CricketerType CT where CT.CricketerId = C.CricketerId and Ct.TypeId = T.TypeId

Excel Integration with .Net

It is possible to interact with Excel from Ado .Net OleDb Provider. Here I am using Office 2007 and .xls format of Excel. I am saving the Excel file inside the bin directory of the application.
Here I am populating both a DataGridView and ComboBox with Excel Data.

using System.Data.OleDb;
OleDbConnection cnn;

public DataSet GetData(String SheetName){
String Query = "SELECT * FROM [" + SheetName + "];"; OleDbDataAdapter myCommand = new OleDbDataAdapter(Query, cnn);
DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
myCommand.Fill(myDataSet, "ExcelInfo");
return myDataSet;
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
cnn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + "Alloc.xls" + ";" + "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0");
OleDbDataAdapter da;
DataSet ds = GetData("Sheet1$");
DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
comboBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0]; comboBox1.DisplayMember = "CategoryName";
}

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Installation ScreenShots

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) is Web based collaboration, content and document management platform from Microsoft.


MOSS requires Windows Server 2003 Sp1 or above, .Net Framework 2.x and 3.x. The contents are stored in Sql Server 2005.

To start the installation double click the OfficeServer.exe present inside MOSS2007_SETUP folder.

Here I am selecting the basic installation. I shall take up Advanced installation in another blog.

As mentioned earlier the MOSS contents are stored inside Sql Server 2005 as shown below.

Silverlight 3 support in Visual Web Developer 2010 Beta 2

Visual Web Developert 2010 Beta 2 Comes with excellent tool support for Silverlight 3.

Starting With Visual Web Developer 2008 sp1 there is the New Project option in Vwd. So go to File, New Project and Select Silverlight Application.









Let host the Silverlight Application in Asp .Net Application.











If you inspect the Properties Window you can notice that there is both Alphabetical and Categorized View of Entries and also Events. In C# Express Edition 2080 there was only the Categorized View in Properties. I am basically a lover of Alphabetical View.

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Welcome to Silverlight 3");
}

In short Working with Silverlight 3 in Vwd 2010 is as cool as working with Asp .Net Application.
