        • localisation
        • pitfall

        Why is this an issue?

        String literals embedded in the source code will not be localized properly.

        This rule raises an issue when a literal string is passed as a parameter or property and one or more of the following cases is true:

        • The LocalizableAttribute attribute of the parameter or property is set to true.
        • The parameter or property name contains "Text", "Message", or "Caption".
        • The name of the string parameter that is passed to a Console.Write or Console.WriteLine method is either "value" or "format".

        Noncompliant code example

        using System;
        using System.Globalization;
        using System.Reflection;
        using System.Windows.Forms;
        
        [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en-US")]
        namespace MyLibrary
        {
            public class Foo
            {
                public void SetHour(int hour)
                {
                    if (hour < 0 || hour > 23)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("The valid range is 0 - 23."); // Noncompliant
                    }
                }
            }
        }
