WPF Localization using Database

Question

Hi

I have an existing WPF application using a back end SQL Server database.  I want to use database localization in order to provide the functionality to change the (label) conversions within the application and store them in the database. I have seen examples of this using asp.net however is this possible for WPF applications?

I can't seem to find any code examples or tutorials on this point.

Thanks in advance.

Shane

Hi Shane,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

I'm moved your case to WPF forum since your question is more related to this forum.
