Description Localization

[gnimor]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to provide a localized description. Currently the attribute only supports to enter a constant string like:

[ArgDescription("My description")]

So I have no chance to provide a localized description via the "Resources". So did I miss something here or is this a known issue?

You can use the OM. The attributes only support constants, but the OM lets you programmatically construct your program's model. Create an instance of CommandLineArgumentsDefinition given the same type that you would normally send to one of the Args methods. The definition has an Arguments collection that lets you see each argument. After you find the argument you are looking for you can set the Description property. There are some examples of using the OM here.
