Resources

Purpose

This module provides localization support for the ViewerSettings feature through a XAML markup extension and strongly-typed resource access. The TranslateExtension allows XAML bindings to localized strings, while StringResources provides compile-time-safe access to localized strings related to calibration behavior settings.

Public Interface

TranslateExtension (inherits MarkupExtension)

• TranslateExtension(string key) - Constructor accepting the resource key to look up.
• ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) - Returns the localized string from StringResources.ResourceManager.GetString(_key). Returns "#stringnotfound#" if key is null/empty, or "#stringnotfound# " + _key if the key is not found in resources.

StringResources (auto-generated)

• ResourceManager - Static property returning the cached ResourceManager instance for the "DTS.Viewer.ViewerSettings.Resources.StringResources" resource name.
• Culture - Static property for getting/setting the CultureInfo for resource lookups.
• CalibrationBehavior_LinearIfAvailable - Localized string: "Use the linear sensitivity, if available".
• CalibrationBehavior_NonLinearIfAvailable - Localized string: "Use the non-linear sensitivity, if available".
• CalibrationBehavior_UseBothIfAvailable - Localized string: "Use both sensitivities, if available, as separate channels".
• CalibrationBehaviorText - Localized string: "Calibration Behavior".

Invariants

• TranslateExtension._key is set at construction time and cannot be changed.
• StringResources class is internal and all members are internal.
• The resource manager is lazily initialized on first access.

Dependencies

Depends on:

• System.Windows.Markup (MarkupExtension, MarkupExtensionReturnTypeAttribute)
• System.Resources (ResourceManager)
• System.Globalization (CultureInfo)

Depended on by: Not determinable from source alone, but likely used by XAML files in the ViewerSettings module.

Gotchas

• Fallback string format: When a key is not found, the returned string includes the key name appended after "#stringnotfound# ". This is useful for debugging but may appear in production if resources are missing.
• Auto-generated file: StringResources.Designer.cs is auto-generated and should not be manually edited. Changes should be made to the corresponding .resx file.
