Using RESX-files inside of Revit macros

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Revit 2017.1.1.

Usually I use RESX-files for localization of my applications. I work with their content through ResourceManager class. Of course, I create the default resources which are built-in into my target assembly.

Later, if I need then I will add some count of special localized resources: .\en\MyAssemblyName.resources.dll, .\ru\MyAssemblyName.resources.dll, etc. It is very convenient and I add new localizations quickly and without problems (when I need it).

As I mentioned earlier, I create the macroses inside of SharpDevelop as the first step of add-in's developing. Of course, I want to use RESX-files at this case too (at least the default resources). But built-in SharpDevelop can't handle such files. I added RESX-file manually but it doesn't work still. I get the compilation error:

> Inadmissible Resx file. Inadmissible data at the root level., line 1, line item 1.

> (MSB3103) - C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Macros\2017\Revit\AppHookup\Sandbox\Source\Sandbox\ThisApplication.resx:1 

Is it possible to solve this problem?

Look my attached screens, please.

Usual SharpDevelop which is not built-in into Revit application, works with RESX-files and build such projects without problems. And its compilation's result works in Revit successfully. But such SharpDevelop doesn't support the 64-bit debugging...

Look the attached screens, please.

You should try to get some more attention for support of 64 bit with SharpDevelop...

Add 64-bit compatibility

Dear Andrey,

Thank you for your query.

I'm sorry I only noticed it today.

Have you resolved the issue, or are you still stuck?

Did TeunHam's advice help?

I can raise an issue with the development team for this, if you like.

Can you provide a reproducible case and provide all the step-by-step detailed instructions?

I guess they would have to include how to set up the external stand-alone SharpDevelop IDE.

What do you think?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

I thought that you ignored my question. 🙂

> Have you resolved the issue, or are you still stuck?

No, I have not.

> Did TeunHam's advice help?

No, his advice is not related with my question.

> I can raise an issue with the development team for this, if you like.

I would be grateful to you at this case.

I showed to you expanded info how to work with RESX-files here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/why-the-language-key-switches-currentculture-instead-o...

Did you see it?

Why? It works without problems in stand-alone SharpDevelop IDE. The problem is with SharpDevelop IDE which is already built in Revit.
They can dowload and install stand-alone SharpDevelop IDE from its official site: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx

Also, I described some additional problems which are related with Revit's SharpDevelop here: https://revit-addins.blogspot.ru/2017/01/ide.html

Best regards,
Andrey

Ok, I'll look into it and raise an issue with the development team.

Meanwhile, here is a draft version of the blog post on the multi language support that I am working on right now:

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

So many exciting new items in it...

More later...

Cheers,

Jeremy

I haven't access to your local computer. 🙂 Pay attention to your link - it is a local link instead of web-link.

> So many exciting new items in it...

Look my video what I mentioned to you in my previous message. I have a hope it will be helpful for you.

Sorry, my mistake, a cut-and-paste error:

Delete the "My monologue is ended." sentence.

Jeremy, also I showed expected (right) behaviour in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1IBVgP7T1I&feature=youtu.be

I haven't other notes.
