wpf localization resx
Lukasz picture Lukasz · Apr 27, 2009 · Viewed 39.1k times · Source

I am starting a new application in WPF and I am curious how to handle Localization? In WinForms you can use resx strings for the UI text, how is this done in WPF? Is there a special binding syntax for binding to resx resources or is there a different way of doing this?

Thanks!
