Best way to do multi language app in VB.net 2008

There are several labeled buttons, labels, and text prompts in my vb.net 2008 app.

I wanted to make it work in a few other languages.  I am new to 2008 and I have never done multilanguage...

My best idea was to have a drop down box to select the language and then populate all of the items with new text  (either in variables for text prompts, or in .text property for buttons etc.

Is there a better way?
I was thinking English, Spanish, German,  French)

That example was for 2005.  I am in 2008.

Can it be done so that additional languages can be added -after compilation?

Or do all language settings need to be done before compilation?
