Howto: Restart application after CurrentCulture (CurrentUICulture) change

In our applications we use something like this to get/set Frontend Language

      try
      {
          //get language from last user setting...
          Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(Settings.Default.CultureSelected);
      }

CurrentCulture will be set from a settings string...

     Settings.Default.CultureSelected = newLanguage; //"it-IT";
     Settings.Default.Save();

     //Manual restart necessary
     MessageBox.Show(Resources.YouHaveToRestartTheApplicationToAffectTheChangeToTheLanguage, Resources.Warning,
          MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

Bad Example - Messagebox that the user should restart application, why not do it by code?

     Settings.Default.CultureSelected = newLanguage; //"it-IT";
     Settings.Default.Save();
    
     //Restart necessary? yes
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.ExecutablePath);
    
     MessageBox.Show(Resources.ApplicationWillBeRestarted, Resources.Warning,
          MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

     // Use this since we are a WinForms app
     System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit();

Good Example - Automatically restart from code

     Settings.Default.CultureSelected = newLanguage; //"it-IT";
     Settings.Default.Save();
    
     //Restart necessary? yes
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.ExecutablePath);
    
     MessageBox.Show(Resources.ApplicationWillBeRestarted, Resources.Warning,
          MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

     
     if (MessageBox.Show(Resources.YouMustRestartTheComputerForTheChangesToTakeEffectNLNLRestartNow, Resources.Warning,
          MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.Yes)
     {
         //Restart necessary? yes
         System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.ExecutablePath);

         // Use this since we are a WinForms app
         System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit();
     }    

Good (even better) Example - Ask user if we should restart now...

Thanks to Jury Strumpflohner for his suggestion!


PS
Remember, to start new process and THEN exit... else it want be started



PPS
Remember to set start parameters if you use them



PPPS
If user is in special application area the restart is maybe a bit distracting, cause he's loosing his actual context

1. i navigated threw a list of articles
2. selected one
3. go into modify mode of that article
4. then change the language of the application --> Restart?
