Hi,
In my application I am using, vertical texts as button backgrounds.
For easiness, i am using Background Images to do so..
But now, the I am making the application multilingual, and I dont want to design different pictures for each language..
and I want to store it as text in language files,,
Is it advisable to draw the vertical picture at the run time ?? Will it affect the perfomance ?

Hi Yesudasan Moses,
Yes making use of .resx to support multi-language or culture facility is one of the best option. Based on my experience it will not affect performance. Instead of verticl picture you can use styles and control template to display the text vertically. but the decision is yours based on your requirement.

Well, yes. Of course it will take longer to draw text into images at run time than to load it from files/resources. But probably not a significant amount, and you can always make it a "one off" overhead by saving the drawn images to file and loading them next time. You could also create them "on demand" when you want to assign them to the control and store them at that point - which would spread the load over the application rather than delaying startup while you create them all, if that is a problem.
