Globalization
The process of engineering an application so that it does not have cultural preconceptions
(Dates, Calendar, Numbers, Currency, etc)
A Good Use of Flags
문화를 대표하면서도 언어를 다르게 설정하기에 좋은 이미지가 바로 국기이다.
e.g., 캐나다 국기와 함께 영어 또는 프랑스어를 사용
IFormatProvider
Use IFormatProvider to ensure the format based on the correct culture
IFormatProvider is an interface and used a lot as Optional parameter of ToString method
CultureInfo class implements IFormatProvider, so We can pass a CultureInfo object to ToString method
e.g., currentDate.ToString("d", new CultureInfo("en-US");
The same method exists in integer.ToString, decimal.ToString, and other classes
DateTime.Parse
We can parse a DateTime like DateTime.Parse("10/23/2015"); OR use DateTime.Parse(string s);
But we should USE DateTime.Parse(string s, IFormatProvider provider);
If we do not provide the IFormatProvider parameter, it uses the CurrentCulture (which may not be what we expect)
Currency Considerations
ToString with a currency format will use the CurrentCulture
The Solution
1. Use a single currency regardless of CurrentCulture (like US dollar)
e.g., 100M.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
2. Incorporate a currency conversion
We can get the conversion factor from a database or store it as a resource
although the resource would need to be updated frequently
