Easily Add a string resource with CoolCommands
Localizability is one of the tasks that we should be aware to writing a World-Ready Application. Basically this task implies that the application executable code has been clearly separated from the application localizable resources.
So that one required feature in our code is that all literal should be in a resource file. This sound easy but for lazy programmers like me this task is very hard.
In order to make my life easier I did a new coolcommand called “Add As String Resource”.
Basically you select a string in the text editor and after in the right click menu you will have a new option “Add As String Resource”
The command will show you a dialog like this
After add the resource the command automatically execute the custom tool associated with the selected resx file.
In order to install unzip this file and run setup.bat in a VS command prompt.
