Load resource dictionary in wpf add in application - resources

Question

Hi i need to make multilingual WPF office add-in. I want to use resources files. i call in my ThisAddIn_Startup function my SetLanguageDictionary
public static void SetLanguageDictionary()
{
try
{
//Get the assembly information
System.Reflection.Assembly assemblyInfo = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
Uri uriCodeBase = new Uri(assemblyInfo.CodeBase);
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(uriCodeBase.LocalPath.ToString());
ResourceDictionary dict = new ResourceDictionary();
switch (Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString())
{
case "en-US":
dict.Source = new Uri(path + "\\Resources\\en-US.xaml",
UriKind.Absolute);
break;
case "fr-FR":
dict.Source = new Uri(path + "\\Resources\\fr-FR.xaml",
UriKind.Absolute);
break;
default:
dict.Source = new Uri(path + "\\Resources\\en-US.xaml",
UriKind.Absolute);
break;
}
Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(dict);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
}
}
my resources files are there
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns ="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<system:String x:Key="Ready">Ready</system:String>
<system:String x:Key="login">Login</system:String>
<!-- All StringResources Goes Here -->
</ResourceDictionary>
when loading i have the error :
System invalid operation exception : operation error loadfrom resouceDictionary with URI:"file:///c:

Answer 1

I solve my problem. It s just because load of resourcesdictionary could only be done by code behind xaml page.

You need to insert in File App.xaml the direction of your files.. in my case for example:
<Application x:Class="VBControl.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:VBControl"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources\StringResources.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources\StringResources.en-EN.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resources\StringResources.pt-BR.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
