Stepwise guide to localize a Windows Phone

Windows phone has been slowly and gradually gaining the market and place in the minds of windows phone programmers. Also, many ASP.NET programmers are keen to learn the facets of windows phone programming.

In order to localize a Windows phone,  the windows phone programmers need to separate the localizable resources from the rest of the code by creating the language-specific resource files. Here is the step-wise guide:

1. Create a Windows Phone 7 application project
2. Add a resource file for the default language of your application.
3. In the same resource file, add the strings that you want to be localized
4. Copy the resource file once for each additional language that you want your app to support
5. Translate the strings in the additionally added files
6. Edit the project file to define the additional languages the app will support
7. Set the mode of the Access Modifier file to ‘public’
8. Whenever you want to show a localized string in your app, you will have to bind to a specific property of the global resource that we have just defined

Why to shift from ASP to ASP.NET?

The era of ASP.NET programming in the IT world has made many many programmers and customers to migrate from traditional ASP programming platform to ASP.NET programming platform. These up-gradations and provoked thought processes support them to make their business operations more effective and easy. They both too work on the same web server, hence future compatibility too is not a problem.

Here are some of the standard reasons for shifting from classical ASP to ASP.NET programming:
> Integration of any 3rd party APIs and code structures becomes relatively easy using ASP.NET
> Both ASP and ASP.NET share the same web server, so compatibility is also not an issue
> ASP.NET can manage thrice the number of requests and hits as compared to classic ASP
> Lot of features are getting automatic in case of ASP.NET, and hence requires very fewer amount of efforts comparatively
> Stability and scalability of the system gets increased in case of ASP.NET technology platform

Thus, there are a plenty of advantages associated for all the ASP.NET programmers to shift them to from classic ASP to the upgraded versions.

At SPEC INDIA, we have a trained team of ASP.NET programming professionals to take care of your requirements. If in case you have any requirement pertaining to software creation or website creation, feel free to email us at lead@spec-india.com and our Business Development team will surely get back to you within 24-48 hours.

JQuery – a powerful Javascript Library

JQuery is a very popular and an open source Javascript library. It is used impressively in many of the applications, and we shall start by looking at the current state of the art Javascript technology, which is used very rampantly by the java programmers and the designers.

Basically, the following tasks could be performed by the Java programmers with JQuery:
> Selecting and Manipulation of HTML elements with JQuery
> Addition of animations to the web pages
> Use of JQuery UI to add a custom theme to the website
> Extending JQuery with the available plug-ins

JQuery focuses to ease all these problems by providing a lightweight library that adds many advanced and cross-browser functions to the standard language.

Integration of Java and .NET

At times, the Java developers may need a platform where they have to integrate Java along with ASP.NET. We are narrating this blog post keeping the beginners in mind. This article describes how we can call some java methods from .NET code and vice versa. This can be achieved via relatively simple ASP.NET application which interacts with Java Applets while performing any other operation.

Two different Integrated Data Environments can be used for this application:
1. Visual Studio 2005 (and further)
2. Eclipse

In Java programming, the main thing or concept behind the scene here is the Applet. The Java developers  need to create a JAR file which contains one applet and then call the java methods using applet from .NET. Once you are able to retrieve the data using the JavaScript, it is up to the programmers to decide how one can use it on the server side.
