What is Microsoft. NET ? ¨ Microsoft's platform for building, deploying, operating and integrating Web services – Rich XML, standard protocols – Cross-language development – Common language runtime • Common type system for all languages • Rich runtime environment – Rich class libraries (. NET Framework) • Windows Forms for rich, Win 32 applications • Web application platform ASP. NET ¨ Multi-lingual support – Rich API for internationalization features =

. NET Framework ¨. NET Framework – Globalization Namespaces – Culture-sensitive classes – Resource Model ¨ ASP. NET – International Support – Localization Options ¨ Visual. Studio. NET – Unicode Development Environment – XML – Unified IDE • VB, C#, C++

. NET Framework ¨ 100% Unicode internally – Supports UTF-8 and UTF 16 encoding schemes ¨ Consistent operations – Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT 4. 0, 98, 95 etc. ¨ Supports all NLS (Locale Support) – Collation Tables – String Comparisons – Language Processing (Casing etc. ) – Currency, Date & Time etc.

Globalization Namespaces ¨ Heart of the. NET Framework System I/O Globalization Security Reflection Collections Threading Net Diagnostics Resources Serialization Text Service. Process ¨ System. Globalization – Core NLS services (Date/Time, Currency, String management etc. ) ¨ System. Resource – Multi-Lingual Resource Services ¨ System. Text – Core character conversion Services. (To/From Unicode)

System. Globalization ¨ Culture-aware String Services – String Management • Casing, Comparison, Collation, • Segmentation, Enumeration etc. – Date/Time Formatting • dd/mm/yy, yy/mm/dd – Numeric Formatting • 12, 000 and 12. 000 – Calendar Support • Gregorian, non-gregorian ¨ Our focus today : – Culture. Info Class Locales

System. Globalization. Culture. Info ¨ Information about specific cultures (Locales) Culture. Info Current. UICulture – Current. Culture • String casing and comparison • Collation • Numeric Formatting ¨ Culture Names – RFC 1766 Standard • <Language. Code>-<Region. Code> de-DE de-CH de-AT Thread. Current. Culture = new Culture. Info(“es-ES");

System. Globalization. Culture. Info ¨ Setting the UI of a. NET application Thread. Current. UICulture = new Culture. Info("fr"); ¨ If not specified, . NET framework sets it for you ! – Get. User. Default. UILanguage – (ie UI Language of the OS) System. Globalization Culture. Info Current. UICulture Current. Culture
