Remarks
A description entry represents a single string that is used for display or error reporting. Each entry may have a resource identifier and manager name. These are used to retrieve localized versions of the string from the manager assembly's satellite resource assemblies.
Example Code [XML]
The following example shows a description entry for a constraint. The error message substitutes several values from the constraint context into the message. The message will be retrieved from the SystemManager using the resource identifier "Findmember.FindHost.ErrorDescription" if the user interface culture does not match the .sdm file culture.
<Description> <Entry Name="ErrorDescription" Substitute="InstanceName Guest.InstanceName FindGuestParent.Parent.InstanceName" Manager="SystemManager" ResourceId="FindMember.FindHost.ErrorDescription" > The hosting relationship {0} targets a host that is not within the allowed scope for this relationship. The host for instance {1} must be contained by the host for instance {2}.</Entry> </Description>
