Localization, ObservableResource and Overrides

Hi,

We do have the documentation about ResourcesOverride, but in the each specific product instead.

For example, UXGridView fully implements ClientUI localization so it supports the ResourcesOverride feature. You can read more about the feature and learn the sample code from the UXGridView documentation. Try to scroll to the most bottom of the page and pay attention to the "Localizing UXGridView" section.

Hth,
Jimmy

Below is the line of code that responsible for the language change in the sample that available in the blog article.

private void ExecuteChangeLanguage(object parameter)
{
    LocalizationManager.Culture = new CultureInfo(parameter.ToString());
    this.TodayDateFormatted = TodayDate.ToString("D");
}

ClientUI Localization Manager is a framework that enables you to build dynamic, reliable localized applications. It overcomes the limitations of the Silverlight's built-in localization feature and packed with advanced features such as dynamic localized resource updating, MVVM design pattern support, and more.

The LocalizationManager contains the core implementation that processes the culture changes and consequently notifies the active observable resources. The ObservableResource<T> class implements IObservableResource interface to provide capability to track and monitor whether a localized resource has changed, which automatically updates the source elements on which the resource was bound to.

The overrides functionality is handled internally inside the Intersoft ClientUI Framework.

Hope this helps.

I have read all the articles and documentation about the localization manager. My question was specifically about the overrides functionality, which none of the articles or documentation explain.

Please kindly check the article, http://intersoftpt.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/coming-in-r2-mvvm-localization-manager-multi-bindings/, in the official blog of Intersoft.

The observable resource is implemented as a model, and consumed in the ViewModel. The observable resource can be defined through a generic template constructor shown below.

public class MyAppResource : Intersoft.Client.Framework.ObservableResource<Resources>
{
    public MyAppResource()
        : base(new Resources())
    {
    }
}For more detail information and sample, please refer to the article link above.
Please let us know whether this helps or not.

I'd like to get some more information on the idea behind the overrides functionality in the ObservableResource class, and how this is meant to work with localization. The documentation and posts that mention the ability to do overrides do not explain at all how it works or how it's intended to function. I'm trying to implement some notion of resource overrides in my application and would like to see how or if I can leverage this feature. Thanks!
