Resource entries are deleted. How to avoid?

[russland]

Hi

Every controls in my application is translated into the current Culture (UICulture). Now, in a MessageBox class I want to place text to that would be translated programatically by a ResourceManager instance.
e.g. rm.GetString("MyStringToTranslate").

Now, that works fine until i do edit a tooltip text or something similar that would write translation text into the resource files. Because at that point of time, my (by hand) inserted values would be overwritten (well, i must admit VisualStudio warns me about that).

Is there a way to prevent this overwriting?

any hint is appreciated.

In your form designer, explicity set the culture in it's properties to something like en-US, and then your target culture (something like fr-CA).

Visual Studio will then create the culture directory structure and .resx files for you. You'll still need to enter the translated values in both .resx files, but at least the structure will be in place for you.
