System.Globalization

System.Resources

To create a localized application in ASP.NET, you would typically need to use the following namespaces:

  1. System.Globalization: This namespace provides classes that define culture-related information, including language, country/region, calendars in use, format patterns for dates, currency, and numbers, and more. It’s essential for handling culture-specific formatting and parsing.
  2. System.Resources: This namespace contains classes and interfaces that allow you to create, store, and manage various culture-specific resources for an application. These resources can include strings, images, sounds, etc., tailored for different languages or regions.
  3. System.Threading: While not directly related to localization, this namespace might be necessary for managing multithreading scenarios within your localized application.

By utilizing classes from these namespaces, you can effectively build applications that support localization, catering to users from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
