Question

User1042252450 posted

Hi all,

     In my application i used .resx files. Now i need to deploy my application in a single dll. Once i deploy and add this dll as a refernce in other client applications then the culture specific dlls are added under Bin directory in client application. I don't want this to happen. Should i embed or link the satellite assembly in my applicaion to avoid this? if so how to do this? Plz help me.

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for ur reply...

Actually i'm developing one windows application. I add some resource files in my application. For example, resource.fr-FR.resx, resources.es-ES.resx, etc. Then i used resource mangaer to bind the texts according to culture info. Actually what happens when i run build the application it creates folder under Bin directory for each with culture code as folder name (fr-FR for French) and it creates dll file under each folder. For example Appname.resources.dll in each folder. i think this is called satellite assembly. And the application also runs successfully. Now if i add this dll as a reference in other application those folders with langauge dll will be automatically added into other projects Bin folder. But i don't want this to happen. It should add only the refernce, not the language specific dlls. How to do this? should i make all language specific dlls into assembly? plz help me...

Thanks!
