Culture and UI Culture for ASP.NET Web Page Globalization

-

 In an ASP.NET Web page, you can set to two culture values, the Culture and UICulture properties. The Culture value determines the results of culture-dependent functions, such as the date, number, and currency formatting, and so on. The UICulture value determines which resources are loaded for the page

Note

The Culture and UICulture properties are set using Internet-standard strings that identify the language (for example, en for English, es for Spanish, and de for German) and culture (for example, US for the United States, GB for Great Britain, MX for Mexico, and DE for Germany). Some examples are en-US for English/United States, en-GB for English/Great Britain, and es-MX for Spanish/Mexico. For more information, see CultureInfo


The two culture settings do not have to have the same value. Depending on your application, it might be important to set them separately. An example is a Web auction site. The UICulture property might change for each Web browser, whereas the Culture stays constant. Therefore, prices are always displayed in the same currency and formatting. The Culture value can be set to specific cultures only, such as en-US or en-GB. This prevents the requirement to identify the correct currency symbol to use for en, where en-US and en-GB have different currency symbols.

Users can set the UI culture and culture in their browsers. For example, in Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, users can click Internet Options, on the General tab, click Language, and then set their language preference. If the enableClientBasedCulture attribute of the globalization element in the Web.config file is set to true, ASP.NET can set the UI culture and culture for a Web page automatically, based on the values that are sent by a browser.

It is not a best practice to rely exclusively on browser settings to determine the UI culture for a page. Users frequently use browsers that are not set to their preferences (for example, in an Internet cafe). You should provide a method for users to explicitly choose a language or language and culture (CultureInfo name) for the page

Email Sending through O365 using OAuth Protocol

-
  Microsoft Office365 EWS servers have been extended to support authorization via the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. Using OAUTH protocol, user can do authentication by Microsoft Web OAuth instead of inputting user and password directly in application Microsoft / Office 365 OAuth + EWS We can use the OAuth authentication service provided by Azure Active Directory to enable our application to connect with IMAP, POP or SMTP protocols to access Exchange Online in Office 365. To use OAuth with our application we need to register application on Azure Active directory and other steps also we need to do to get the access token back. Below are the steps   To use Microsoft/Office365 OAUTH in your application, you must create an application in  https://portal.azure.com . Sign into the Azure portal using either a work or school account or a personal Microsoft account. If your account gives you access to more than one tenant, select your account in the top right corn

IISRESET vs App Pool Recycling ?

-

 I think most IIS administrators know IISRESET command, and why they use it. One of possible reasons can be to restart IIS services to initialize web applications, or to apply some changes of applications & IIS settings .There’re just a few conditions those need your IISRESET command. In most situations, you don’t need this. I have a concern if you always run this command for applying any changes, or release system resource – memory – regularly, or frequently. Because it’s much more cost than what you really need to take – there’re side effects Recycling App Pool’ has been introduced from IIS6 in Windows2003. It’s designed to restart only application pools(=worker processes). It can be done in a command prompt(run ‘IISAPP /?’ in a command prompt for details), as well as in the IIS manager What IISRESET does? When you run IISRESET, many things will happen. In order to understand them, I think I need to show you how IIS looks like – about IIS core components. The below shows you role

Deploy .Net6.0 Web api with docker

  What is Docker? Docker is a containerization platform, meaning that it enables you to package your applications into images and run them as “containers” on any platform that can run Docker. It negates the classic: “It works on my computer” argument as Docker images contain everything needed for the app to run. Are Containers the same as Virtual Machines? They are similar, but not the same. In short: Virtual Machines provide OS Level Virtualization Containers provide App Level Virtualization This concept is depicted below: Why Would You Use it? In short you would use Docker, (and hence containers), for the following reasons: Portability.  As containers are self- contained  they can run on any platform that runs Docker, making them easy to stand up and run on a wide variety of platforms. Scalability.  With the use of additional “orchestration” you can spin up multiple container instances to support increased load. Performance.  Containers generally perform better than their VM counterp
