Hi,

i made a module based on your  Apollo.DNN_Localization dll.  But now i would like this module to be available to all users, so also the ones who did not buy your module.

is there a way in asp.net to say something like this:

Dim Tab As object

if exists("Apollo.DNN_Localization.dll")  then
Tab  = LocalizeTab.getLocalizedTab(CType(PortalSettings.DesktopTabs(i), TabInfo))

Else
Tab = Tab.getTab(CType(PortalSettings.DesktopTabs(i), TabInfo))

endif

Thanks for your time

Olivier

Olivier,

If you do it like this, it should work:

        Private Function LocalizeTab(ByVal objTab As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo) As DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabInfo
            Try
                Dim objLocalization As Object 'Apollo.DNN_Localization.LocalizeTab
                objLocalization = System.Activator.CreateInstance("Apollo.LocalizationApi", "Apollo.DNN_Localization.LocalizeTab").Unwrap ' New Apollo.DNN_Localization.LocalizeTab
                Return objLocalization.getLocalizedTab(objTab)
            Catch exc As Exception
                Return objTab
            End Try
        End Function

(you might need to set Option Strict to OFF for your project though). This function will always return a TabInfo object, wether PageLocalization is available or not. All you need to do further on is to pass your original TabInfo object to this function, and you will get the localized in return...

cheers,
