copied!<p>I apologize for the VB.NET code, my C# is a bit rusty... But you'll get the idea, right?</p> <p>First of all, create a new class: <code>LocalizedPropertyDescriptor</code>, which inherits <code>PropertyDescriptor</code>. Override the <code>DisplayName</code> property like this:</p> <pre><code>Public Overrides ReadOnly Property DisplayName() As String Get Dim BaseValue As String = MyBase.DisplayName Dim Translated As String = Some.ResourceManager.GetString(BaseValue) If String.IsNullOrEmpty(Translated) Then Return MyBase.DisplayName Else Return Translated End If End Get End Property </code></pre> <p><code>Some.ResourceManager</code> is the ResourceManager of the resource file that contains your translations.</p> <p>Next, implement <code>ICustomTypeDescriptor</code> in the class with the localized properties, and override the <code>GetProperties</code> method:</p> <pre><code>Public Function GetProperties() As PropertyDescriptorCollection Implements System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties Dim baseProps As PropertyDescriptorCollection = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(Me, True) Dim LocalizedProps As PropertyDescriptorCollection = New PropertyDescriptorCollection(Nothing) Dim oProp As PropertyDescriptor For Each oProp In baseProps LocalizedProps.Add(New LocalizedPropertyDescriptor(oProp)) Next Return LocalizedProps End Function </code></pre> <p>You can now use the 'DisplayName` attribute to store a reference to a value in a resource file...</p> <pre><code><DisplayName("prop_description")> _ Public Property Description() As String </code></pre> <p><code>prop_description</code> is the key in the resource file.</p>
