Localization

One of the nice way to localize a web page is

  protected override void InitializeCulture()

    {

        CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(“es-mx”, false);

        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

    }

 

but it goes out of hand very quickly, unless we do it in master page, or HttpModule’s PreRequest

HandlerExecute event or an application’s global.asax Application_BeginRequest method. Also one nasty thing about it is, the method is called even before all the controls initialized,therefore all control values are unavailable. Using parameter info, such as Request.Form["CultureSelectorDropDown"] can be a solution.

Programitically,   this.lblGreeting.Text = GetLocalResourceObject(“greeting”).ToString(); would work. or putting meta:resourcekey in aspx.

What is the scriptManager control?

http://www.asp.net/Ajax/Documentation/Live/overview/ScriptManagerOverview.aspx

Ajax controls all ask ScriptManager to be present on the page.

Could not load file or assembly ‘vjslib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies.

The reason is the vjslib is in J# redistribution package and we need to install it.

Accounting notes

What is the difference between temporary and permanent accounts?
What is the retained earning?
Debit is the incoming, revenue
Credit is the outgoing the expense
Income statement
• Single step statement
o All the revenue-all of the expenses, hard to be analyzed, since there is no detail
• Multiple step statement
o 1/10 EOM, 1% discount if paid in 10 days, that is the sales discount
o Sales return, returns goods
o Allowance-front end discount
Inventory methods
1. Perpetual
a. Always know what happens, any time when we have sales and discount, we can write to inventory account.
2. Periodic
a. At the end I adjust inventory, includes temporary accounts, purchase, purchase return, etc
Transportation costs
1. Who pays shipping cost is owner of the goods
a. FOB Destination- free on board-seller pays selling cost, and owns the goods until the merchandise is the delivered to the buyer
b. FOB- Shipping point-buyer pays the shipping cost and entitles ownership at the sipping point.
Cash based accounting
1. Everything is based on the cash, the expense is not counted until cash is paid, or income is not counted until cash is received, therefore this is not suitable for the big companies.
Accrual base accounting
1. Everything is based on financial activities (in other words, when transaction occurs), regardless of whether cash is received or paid.
a. `Accrued (antonym of deferred) – synonym of before such as accrued revenue, which means revenue is recognized before cash is received.
b. Accrued expenses – one example can be salary, which will continue to accrue until payday when the accrued expense is eliminated.
Account – a record of financial transaction
Account payable – amount owed by the company for the goods or service it has purchased
Account receivable – amount owed to the company by its customers
Amortize – to charge a regular portion of expenditure over a fixed period of time. For example if something cost $100 and is to be amortized over ten years, the financial reports will show an expense of $10 per year for ten years. If the cost were not amortized, the entire $100 would show up on the financial report as an expense in the year the expenditure was made. (See entries on Expenditure and Expense.)
Current assets – assets that can be expected to turn into cash within a year or less, cash, marketable securities, account receivable, and inventory
Fixed assets – assets that cannot be changed into cash without interfering business, such as land, equipment etc.
Intangible assets (intangible – мэдрэмгїй, баригдашгїй, ойлгошгїй, ухаан хїрэхгїй) – patents, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, franchise – эрх ямба, сонгуулийн эрх, which is not physical object.
Balance sheet- a statement of the financial position of a company at a single specific time
Book value – net worth
Breakeven point – The amount of revenue from sales which exactly equals the amount of expense. Breakeven point is often expressed as the number of units that must be sold to produce revenues exactly equal to expenses. Sales above the breakeven point produce a profit; below produces a loss.
Capitalize -To capitalize means to record an expenditure on the balance sheet as an asset, to be amortized over the future. The opposite is to expense.
Cash flow — the amount of actual cash generated by business operations, which usually differs from profits shown. This is mostly caused by the accrued or deferred accounting activities.
Double entry- a system of accounting in which every transaction is recorded twice – as a debit and as a credit
Internal control (detected control)-
1. To safeguard our assets
2. Long distance call, printers etc.
Control environment
a. Management committed
b. Risk assessment- injury, lawsuit
c. Control procedure – training, specific job duties, vacations
d. Custody of assets and recording of assets separation, one watched another. If one does both of them they can do a lot of things.
e. Monitor employees- we can put security cameras in the offices and can improve business.
f. Information and communication- set right expectation.
g. Backlog- record information in later
