Examples

This example is based on scenario 10 of the Application resources and localization sample. See the sample for the complete solution.

{
    Button b = sender as Button;
    if (b != null)
    {
        // Use a cloned context for this scenario so that qualifier values set
        // in this scenario don't impact behavior in other scenarios that
        // use a default context for the view (crossover effects between
        // the scenarios will not be expected).
        var context = ResourceContext.GetForCurrentView().Clone();

        var selectedLanguage = Scenario10ComboBox_Language.SelectedValue;
        var selectedScale = Scenario10ComboBox_Scale.SelectedValue;

Properties

IsDefault	Indicates whether this ResourceCandidate can be used as a default fallback value for any context.
IsMatch	Indicates whether this ResourceCandidate matched the ResourceContext against which it was evaluated.
IsMatchAsDefault	Indicates whether this ResourceCandidate matched the ResourceContext against which it was evaluated as a result of being a true match, a default fallback value, or a mixed match with default fallback (that is, a match in relation to some qualifiers but using default fallback values for other qualifiers).
Kind	Gets the type of resource that is encapsulated in this ResourceCandidate.
Qualifiers	Gets the qualifiers associated with this ResourceCandidate.
ValueAsString	Gets the value of this ResourceCandidate, expressed as a string.

Methods

GetQualifierValue(String)	Returns the value of a qualifier, given its name.
GetValueAsFileAsync()	Asynchronously returns a StorageFile that accesses the value of this ResourceCandidate. This only works on certain types of ResourceCandidates that are files.
GetValueAsStreamAsync()	Asynchronously returns an IRandomAccessStream that accesses the value of this ResourceCandidate.
