SAIF.Resources overview

Documentation context: Packaged Component (NuGet)

SAIF.Resources is a shared localization and template-resource library that packages strongly typed resource sets, template loaders, and lightweight mapping helpers for other SAIF applications.

Purpose

• Provide reusable English and Spanish resource strings across UI, business, application, and service-facing areas.
• Load text templates from either the file system or embedded assembly resources, then support token replacement against the loaded content.
• Expose helper types for supported-language enumeration, simple token metadata, and reflection-based projection of resource properties into consumer view models.

Responsibilities

• Package generated resource classes compiled from .resx files under Application, Business, Common, Services, and UI.
• Support culture-aware template loading with a fallback chain from specific culture to neutral culture to default resource.
• Provide token discovery and replacement services for loaded text templates.
• Publish supported-language metadata for English and Spanish resource consumers.
• Provide a reflection-based helper for copying matching properties between source and destination types.

Key components

• clsResourceManager, clsFileResourceManager, clsAssemblyResourceManager: template loading and token replacement.
• clsLanguage and mdlLanguages: supported-language metadata.
• ResourceViewModelMapper: reflection-based projection and scaffolding helper.
• Generated .Designer.vb resource classes and packaged static assets: localized string and content resources.
