Wouldn't hurt, but I was trying to talk him into taking a look at MSDN :-D

Please clarify: is this WinForms, or Web based, or ... ? Also, exactly what do you mean by "translate" here: what exactly is the "translation code" ? 1. you could be saying you are pulling data from a database in one language, and then translating it yourself in your own code (or via some Web service, or by interacting with other software components) into other (multiple ?) languages, so different languages might be displayed in different Forms. 2. you could be referring to the issue of localization here, but I seriously doubt that. 3. or, are you saying you want to take this "translated text" you retrieved from the DataBase, which is already translated into one-and-only-one language, and display it in more than one Form: so the same content, in the same language is shown in every Form ? And, where do MessageBoxes come into the action here: where does the content of the MessageBoxes come from ? My guess is that you mean #1, but it would be good to know that for sure.

I'm guessing here, but the OP's question smells to me like localisation. Cheers, Peter

Sri Arunkamar, you are indeed dealing with a problem of system language localisation, and there are powerful solutions within .NET for support of multiple languages, that use the internal facilities of the OS. Specifically you want to be using resource files here. There are lots of articles on CP about localisation, just search. Here's one that's still getting current positive votes now, even though its eight years old[^]. So why are you writing your own replacement, when built-in multi-language support is a given ?

can anyone Help me by a small exmple?

I recommend picking up a good book and reading some chapters on ADO.Net. This should give you a fair idea plus a lot of sample code as well.

Hai again this is my class code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.SQLite;

namespace sample
{
class translation
{

    private SQLiteConnection sql\_con;
    private SQLiteCommand sql\_cmd;
    private SQLiteDataAdapter DB;
    private SQLiteDataReader dr;

    public void LoadTranslations(int languagecode)
    {
        string\[\] TextinTranslatedArray = new string\[200\];
        string\[\] TextinEnglishArray = new string\[\] { "Admin","User","ZHome","UserName"};

        for (int i = 0; i < TextinEnglishArray.Length; i++)
        {
            string sql;
            sql = "SELECT f\_text\_translated FROM t01\_text\_translation WHERE f\_text\_english='" + TextinEnglishArray\[i\] + "'AND f\_language\_code='" + languagecode + "'";
            sql\_cmd = sql\_con.CreateCommand();
            sql\_cmd.CommandText = sql;
            dr=sql\_cmd.ExecuteReader();
            TextinTranslatedArray\[i\] = dr.GetValue(0).ToString();
        }

        sql\_con.Close();
    }
     private void SetConnection()
    {
        sql\_con = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source=DATA.sl3;Version=3;New=False;Compress=True;");
    }


}

}

AND WHEN I CREATE A OBJECT FOR THIS CLASS IN MY FORM I GOT SOME ERROR

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

    }
}

}

Error is :- Error 3 { expected C:\Users\arun\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\sample\sample\Form1.cs 11 13 sample Error 4 Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or interface member declaration C:\Users\arun\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\sample\sample\Form1.cs 11 13 sample Error 5 Class, struct, or interface method must have a return type C:\Users\arun\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\sample\sample\Form1.cs 11 18 sample Error 6 } expected C:\Users\arun\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\sample\sample\Form1.cs 24 2 sample What is this error? Please Help me Arunkumar.T

Look for the line that has class = in it. There are two things wrong with it. First, you don't declare variables outside a class. This should be inside the class declaration. Second, you don't declare variables using class, you need to use the class name to declare the member here.

class tr=new translation();

I don't know what you meant to do with this line, but A. If you want to declare another class in the same file as a file with a Partial class declaration, it has to be after the Partial class declaration. B. If you wanted to declare an instance of the translation class for use in your form class, it has to be declared inside the form class and cannot be declared as a class. It should be someting like this:-

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    translation tr = new translation();

    public Form1()
    {
    }
}
