Hi

I'm using Try/Catch statements like the below to make sure that my error is what I expect it to be...

VB.NET:
Catch Exception_Type As XmlException

            If (Exception_Type.Message = "Root element is missing.") Then

                MsgBoxPrompt = "ADG MatchMaker.xml Structure INCORRECT" _
                    & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Re-Open MatchMaker XML Editor"
                MsgBoxTitle = "Initializing CORRUPT MatchMaker.xml"

                MsgBoxReply = MsgBox(MsgBoxPrompt, vbExclamation, MsgBoxTitle)

                Call Generate_MatchMaker_XML()

                Me.Close()

                Me.Dispose()

            End If

I have other similar checks on the .Message string... BUT the issue obviously is that the string I am testing for will not match in non-English languages... what is typically done to deal with this? Am I doing something inappropriate, etc?

Many thanks!
