In studying the source code I notice that the GamingExtension and the IISExtension, among others, have a data\messages.xml in the wixext project tree. I tried to add a similar file to my project, changing the namespace, class name, and container name. However in the compiler extension code the class name is undefined preventing the project from compiling. I searched the source for clues but did not find how to hook this messages.xml file into my project. I set the properties the same as for the tables.xml, as Embedded Resource and Always Copy.
<Messages Namespace="my_projects_namespace" Resources="Data.Messages" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/genmsgs/2004/07/messages";> <Class Name="MyExtErrors" ContainerName="MyExtErrorEventArgs" BaseContainerName="WixErrorEventArgs"> <Message Id="SomeMessage" Number="20001"> <Instance> Say something about the {0} element and this attribute: {1}. <Parameter Type="System.String" Name="elementName" /> <Parameter Type="System.String" Name="attributeName1" /> </Instance> </Message> </Class> </Messages> This line fails to compile as "MyExtErrors" is undefined. this.Core.OnMessage(MyExtErrors.SomeMessage(sourceLineNumbers, node.Name, "attribute1")); I guess I am not sure where MyExtErrors and MyExtErrorsEventArgs should be defined. When I search the wix source for the container name found in various messages.xml files, I cannot find references anywhere else in the src tree. Your assistance is appreciated.
