clsFileResourceManager

Concrete resource manager that reads culture-specific template files from a directory on disk.

Purpose

• Load text templates from the configured resource directory and delegate tokenization to clsResourceManager.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Resources
• Assembly/package: SAIF.ResourceFiles

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
ResourceDirectory	Public ReadOnly Property ResourceDirectory As String	Returns the directory used when locating resource templates.
New	Public Sub New(resourceDirectory As String)	Initializes the manager with the directory that contains resource templates.
LoadResource	Public Overrides Sub LoadResource(inResourceName As String, inTemplateExtension As String, inCultureCode As String)	Loads a template file by name, extension, and culture code using the built-in fallback chain.

Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from clsResourceManager in SAIF.Resources. They remain part of this type's public surface through inheritance.

Member	Signature	Purpose	Origin
TokenStartDelimiter	Public Shared Property TokenStartDelimiter As String	Gets or sets the opening delimiter used when parsing tokens.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
TokenEndDelimiter	Public Shared Property TokenEndDelimiter As String	Gets or sets the closing delimiter used when parsing tokens.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
Text	Public ReadOnly Property Text As String	Returns the original loaded template text.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
ReplacedText	Public ReadOnly Property ReplacedText As String	Returns the current template text after token replacement operations.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
Tokens	Public ReadOnly Property Tokens As List(Of Token)	Returns the discovered tokens for the currently loaded text.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
New	Public Sub New(text As String)	Initializes the manager with template text and immediately tokenizes it.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
LoadResource	Public Sub LoadResource(inResourceName As String, Optional inTemplateExtension As String = "html")	Loads a resource using the current thread UI culture and the specified extension.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
LoadResource	Public Overridable Sub LoadResource(inResourceName As String, inTemplateExtension As String, inCultureCode As String)	Culture-aware load hook for concrete implementations.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
GetToken	Public Function GetToken(inTokenName As String) As Token	Returns the token whose name matches the supplied token identifier.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
ReplaceToken	Public Function ReplaceToken(inTokenName As String, inReplacement As String) As String	Replaces every occurrence of the named token in the current text and returns the updated result.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager
ReplaceToken	Public Shared Function ReplaceToken(text As String, inTokenName As String, inReplacement As String) As String	Performs one-off token replacement against the supplied text without requiring a preexisting manager instance.	SAIF.Resources — clsResourceManager

Behavioral notes

• The load algorithm looks for <name>_<culture>.<ext> first, then retries with a two-letter culture code, then retries with no culture suffix.
• When a file is found, the class reads the full file content with StreamReader and passes it to Initialize.

Constraints and usage notes

• The constructor trims a trailing backslash from resourceDirectory before storing it.
• If no matching file exists after the fallback chain, the method returns without loading content.
