Day 15. Writing International Applications
With the world coming closer together with the Internet, it's logical that software should recognize different localized cultural information, such as correct date, time, and currency formatting. Visual Studio .NET has built in-tools and classes that enable you to write applications that are truly international, and allow you to handle multiple localizations in a single application. Doing so makes your apps truly global in nature. Today, you learn
