Class CultureDataFormatter

This is a helper class designed to encode, parse and reformat culturally sensitive data types between an application server without culture knowledge, and a front-end with such knowledge.

Syntax

public static class CultureDataFormatter

Remarks

This class is split between the SuperOffice.Plugins and SuperOffice.Plugins.Shared Most of the functionality lives in SuperOffice.Plugins.Shared, this file will contain methods that are not portable because of references to Stream This PLUGINS.DLL class duplicates the implementation of SOCORE.DLL SuperOffice.CRM.Globalization.CultureDataFormatter

The problem: The application server does not know the culture of the current client. At the same time, we need to be able to include culturally sensitive data (such as a date) as part of a tooltip or other server-side generated text. Before displaying this text to the user, culturally sensitive elements need to be parsed and reformatted to the correct culture.

The methods in this class take care of both sides of this process. The Encode methods, such as EncodeDate(DateTime), take a native data type as input and return a string that contains both a specification of what it is (a date) and the value formatted in the invariant culture.

The LocalizeEncoded(String) method will take such a formatted element, and by calling on the proper LocalFormat method (such as LocalFormatDate(DateTime), return it in its correct form according to the current culture settings for the thread.
