ASP.NET AJAX Localization Slides and Code

A while back I promised a three-part series on ASP.NET AJAX Localization. I wrote Part 1, but wasn’t entirely happy with the way it turned out; primarily because I was still learning Localization. I’ve been chugging along with writing my ASP.NET AJAX Control Book since then with a couple of posts on a JavaScript Stack Trace and a JavaScript Error Publishing Control since that first post, and haven’t really gotten back to finish the promised Part 2 and Part 3.

Well, I’m not really sure when I’m going to get back to writing the full posts, but I recently put together a slide deck and some code examples on ASP.NET AJAX Localization for a presentation at work. I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out so I thought I’d post them and let anybody take a look at it.

• MSDN Code Site
• Slide Deck (Office 2007)
• Slide Deck (Office 2003)
• Source Code (VS 2008)

There’s not a lot of talk or writing on ASP.NET AJAX Localization so I do encourage you to take the few moments to download the slide deck or code examples if you’ve ever been interested in localization. The Localization features of ASP.NET AJAX will revolutionize the way you work with Dates and Numbers in JavaScript.

Some highlights from the PowerPoint and code are

• Explanation of out-of-the-box JavaScript Localization
• Breakdown of ASP.NET AJAX Localization
  • Script Globalization
    • Date and Number Parsing
    • Date and Number Formatting
    • String Formatting
    • Creating your own Formattable Objects
  • Sys.CultureInfo objects
    • CurrentCulutre
    • InvariantCulture
  • Script Localization
    • Embedded Resource Model
    • Static File Model
• Example Currency Text Box Control
• Example page using ASP.NET Localization and ASP.NET AJAX Localization in multiple ways
