Documentation: DTS.Common.Strings (Strings.Designer.cs)

1. Purpose

This module is an auto-generated strongly-typed resource class that provides localized string constants for the DTS CommonCore library. It serves as the central access point for UI strings, error messages, status labels, and configuration descriptions used throughout the DTS system. The class wraps a .resx resource file, enabling localization and consistent string management across the application. This file is machine-generated by the StronglyTypedResourceBuilder tool and should not be manually edited.

2. Public Interface

Class: `DTS.Common.Strings.Strings`

All members are static. The class cannot be instantiated (internal constructor).

Member	Signature	Description
`ResourceManager`	`public static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager { get; }`	Returns the cached `ResourceManager` instance for this assembly. Lazily initialized on first access. The resource base name is `"DTS.Common.Strings.Strings"`.
`Culture`	`public static global::System.Globalization.CultureInfo Culture { get; set; }`	Gets or sets the current `CultureInfo` for resource lookups. Overrides the thread's `CurrentUICulture` for all lookups via this class.

Selected String Properties (partial list — file is truncated)

All string properties follow the pattern: public static string PropertyName { get; } and call ResourceManager.GetString("key", resourceCulture).

3. Invariants

Auto-generation marker: The file is decorated with GeneratedCodeAttribute indicating tool generation. Manual edits will be overwritten.
Singleton ResourceManager: The ResourceManager property lazily initializes exactly one instance and caches it in the private resourceMan field.
Thread-safety of ResourceManager initialization: Uses a temporary local variable pattern (temp) before assigning to the static field to avoid race conditions.
Immutable property signatures: All string properties are read-only getters; there are no setters.
Resource base name: The ResourceManager is initialized with the base name "DTS.Common.Strings.Strings" and the executing assembly.
Internal constructor: The Strings() constructor is marked internal with a suppression for CA1811 (AvoidUncalledPrivateCode), preventing external instantiation.

4. Dependencies

This module depends on:

System.Resources.ResourceManager — for resource lookup
System.Globalization.CultureInfo — for culture-specific string retrieval
System.CodeDom.Compiler — for GeneratedCodeAttribute
System.Diagnostics — for DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute
System.Runtime.CompilerServices — for CompilerGeneratedAttribute
System.ComponentModel — for EditorBrowsableAttribute
System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis — for SuppressMessageAttribute

The underlying `.resx` file:

A companion file Strings.resx (not shown) contains the actual key-value pairs and is the source for this designer file.

What depends on this module:

Unknown from source alone — any component in the DTS codebase that requires localized strings may reference DTS.Common.Strings.Strings.

5. Gotchas

Do not edit this file directly — The auto-generated header explicitly warns that changes will be lost if the code is regenerated. To add or modify strings, edit the .resx file and regenerate.
File is truncated in the provided source — The source cuts off mid-property (OutputClockSource_PTP_OnePPS). The full file contains additional string properties not documented here.
Culture can be overridden globally — Setting Strings.Culture affects all subsequent resource lookups through this class. Callers should be aware this is a global setting.
Formatted strings require caller handling — Properties like LevelTrigger_TriggerInside contain format placeholders ({0}, {1}, {2}). The caller is responsible for calling string.Format() or similar.
Typo in property name: DigitialOutput (should be DigitalOutput) — this appears to be a historical naming quirk preserved for backward compatibility.
Some strings contain newlines and formatting — e.g., DockingStationNotFound contains multi-line instructions with bullet points. Callers displaying these should preserve formatting.
