Hi,

I have found the solution myself. Hereby i want to share the code:

        private TabInfo GetLocalizedTab(TabInfo tabInfo)
        {
            TabInfo result = tabInfo;
            try
            {
                object o = System.Activator.CreateInstance("Apollo.LocalizationApi", "Apollo.DNN_Localization.LocalizeTab").Unwrap();
                if (o != null)
                {
                    Type t = o.GetType();
                    MethodInfo m = t.GetMethod("getLocalizedTab", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy, null, new Type[] { typeof(TabInfo) }, new ParameterModifier[0]);
                    if (m != null)
                        result = (TabInfo)m.Invoke(null, new object[] { tabInfo });
                }
            }
            catch { }
            return result;
        }

This code uses reflextion because the posibility excists that the user doesn't have the Apollo.LocalizationApi.dll file.

PS: Sorry I started a new treat! it was ment to be a reply.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing!

What is the difference in performance between including the dll and using reflection?

If there is a great penalty, can it be solved?

J.

if you can just reference the dll, thats certainly faster....

btw.. this is the code in VB:

Private Function LocalizeTab(ByVal tabInfo As TabInfo) As TabInfo
Dim result As TabInfo = tabInfo
Try
Dim o As Object = System.Activator.CreateInstance("Apollo.LocalizationApi", "Apollo.DNN_Localization.LocalizeTab").Unwrap()
If Not (o Is Nothing) Then
Dim t As Type = o.GetType()
Dim m As MethodInfo = t.GetMethod("getLocalizedTab", BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy, Nothing, New Type() {GetType(TabInfo)}, New ParameterModifier(0) {})
If Not (m Is Nothing) Then
result = CType(m.Invoke(Nothing, New Object() {tabInfo}), TabInfo)
End If
End If
Catch
End Try
Return result
End Function
