    How can I use more than one culture in vb.net pocket pc application? I am using a combo box for the user to select the language and want to change the application language (lable and buttons text) according to the selected language. The default language is English. If user selecte any other lanugage from the drop down list like (arabic,french) then it should the whole application to that language. Where I can download the arabic fonts for the pocket pc application? Any idea how I can do this? Thanks In advance

        If I add different resource files for different languages then I need to add lots of line to set the controls text at run time. Can't we use culture method to change the language of the application with single line of code? I read about this on internet and saw different codes for vb.net windows application but when I tried to apply this on pocket pc application it did not work for me. Thanks In Advance Regards, Mohammed Ejaz

          Changing the culture through My.Application.Culture will not magically redraw everything on your screen. It only takes effect for future resource retrieval. Best thing you can do is save the setting, exit your application and re-load it. If my memory serves me right, you should be able to use normal truetype fonts on the device, so if you have a Windows Arabic font, you can just put in on the device. (only problem may be size, Windows CE uses cut-down versions of the fonts) Not certain how right-to-left writing will be handled, though.
