how to compare a string in a resource.dll

Hi,



what I'd like to be able to do is compare a string for a control with its associated string in the resource.dll file



I'm using VB script in TestComplete our Tested Application is written in C# and we have lots of resource files for the different languages our application runs under.



I'd like to check that a particular string is correctly being translated and that the translation is in the relevant resource file



If anybody has any clue on how to do this it would be very much appreciated!!



many thanks in advance



regards

K

    Hello Kay,




    You can use the script below to get all resources in the specified assembly. Before you run the script, you need to specify the full path to the needed assembly in the 'assemblyPath' variable.




    Sub Test


    Dim i, assemblyPath, assembly, names, stream, resourceReader, enumerator




    assemblyPath = "C#_ASSEMBLY_PATH"




    Set assembly = dotNET.System_Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(assemblyPath)


    Set names = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()


    For i = 0 To names.Length - 1


    Log.AppendFolder("Resource: " + names.GetValue(i))


    Set stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(names.GetValue(i))


    Set resourceReader = dotNET.System_Resources.ResourceReader.zctor_2(stream)


    Set enumerator = resourceReader.GetEnumerator


    While enumerator.MoveNext()


    Log.Message("Key: " & enumerator.Key & vbCrLf & "Value: " & enumerator.Value)


    Wend


    Log.PopLogFolder


    Next


    End Sub





    To compare two strings, you can use the aqString.Compare method. Please read the "aqString.Compare" article fore more information.
