There is not enough info.
Windows version? VS version? What are you doing, exactly?

Anyway, the recomended way to handle multiple languages is to have a
resource-only dll for each language, not all in one file.
It will save you a lot of pain in the long run.

My system info is:

Microsoft XP Professional SP2
Visual Studio .NET 2003 (using C#)

I mean that I insert elements in the resources table for a language,
and then when setting a new one, the elements of the previous one get
deleted, and have to repeat it whenever I add a new language.

Anyway, how do I add new languages by adding single resource-only
dlls?

Thank you for your attention.

Regards.

Ah!
For C#/VB.NET VS will create multiple resx files "under the hood", one
for each language. When you add a new language it will basically add a new
resx file, and it also becomes the active one.
And when you build the thing you end up with multiple dlls, as recomended.
So when you add a new language, the old one is not deleted.
You can always switch between languages.

At least this is what happens when you use the normal VS way of handling
resources. If you do some custom stuff, I don't know.

OK,

thank you Mihai. Finally I solved my problem by generating a resource
file for each language and for each project in my solution.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
