Clarification and practical path (to and following ’s request for specifics): “International” can mean two things — world-wide access (services that any client can call) and world-ready UI/data (localization, culture-aware formatting, Unicode). For cross-border access, prefer HTTP-based services (REST/HTTP APIs) built with a modern ASP.NET Core web API so clients on any platform can call the service. For language/locale support, use .NET’s globalization/localization features (satellite assemblies or .resx resources and System.Globalization) and design the app so formatting/parsing always uses an explicit CultureInfo. See guidance on globalization/localization and ASP.NET Core for web APIs (Globalize and localize .NET applications and ASP.NET Core docs). (learn.microsoft.com)

A quick VB.NET snippet for switching culture and loading a resource:

Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")

Dim rm = New System.Resources.ResourceManager("MyApp.Resources.Strings", GetType(SomeType).Assembly)
Dim greeting = rm.GetString("Greeting")

Data and services: ADO.NET is the low-level data layer (SqlClient, DataReader, DataSet) and is fine for streaming/very high-performance scenarios; for faster development and mapping to objects, use Entity Framework Core as the ORM. For international data, store text in Unicode types (NVARCHAR/NCHAR or use UTF-8-enabled collations as appropriate) and always use parameterized commands to avoid encoding/SQL-injection issues. Reference: ADO.NET docs, EF Core overview, and SQL Server Unicode guidance. (learn.microsoft.com)

Embedded/reliability (replying to ): for constrained MCUs, modern tooling is available — .NET nanoFramework lets managed code run on many microcontrollers; for higher-end embedded (Raspberry Pi / ARM SBCs) full .NET can be deployed and debugged remotely. For hard real‑time or very tight resource budgets, native C/C++ with an RTOS is still the right choice. See .NET nanoFramework and guidance for deploying .NET to ARM single-board computers. (nanoframework.net)

Gap in earlier replies: the original thread explained terms but missed practical trade-offs (globalization APIs, Unicode storage, modern embedded runtimes). The recommended next step is a short prototype: pick target platform (SBC vs MCU), expose a small REST API, and validate localization and DB encoding early.

Huh? Say what?

You talk about talent and difficulty. SO i think that every aspects have been studied by the people. There is no place for new commer to come and show there talent?
Secondly i want to ask that is there any facility provided in vb.net to work of embedded software system withe reliability?

First off, new people are always welcome, and those contributing as well, my initial reply was just as it states... confused? :confused:

you stated:

:!:
The question is both vague, if not completely wide open for a response. What specifically are you wanting to do internationally? :confused:

VB NET side? VB.Net is a OOP (Object Oriented Programming) language used in development of several software applications.

ADO.Net (Access Data Object) is apart of VB.Net Language, C#Sharp, etc of the .NET framework. It is actually a seperate entity in its own right. :cool:

Webservices are a means of providing a "web" service in a particular language. In this case you suggest VB.Net.

Here is a link to .NET Framework Website (@ Microsoft) which also has an FAQ on .NET. :cool:

No, my "quote" of a famous author is not a statement that anyone here knows everything. Chill out dude! And I said nothing to the contrary about new users. New forumites are always welcome (right Dani). But so is clarity in what they are asking about. i.e. specifics!

Secondly i want to ask that is there any facility provided in vb.net to work of embedded software system withe reliability?

Please guide me?!

I think I know what your asking here, but maybe you could clarify if I am wrong. Are you asking? Is the a means of using VB.Net to work in conjugation with current Operating systems, and applications.??

In short (very short) Yes!. Linux and .NET are being worked on as we speak. And as long as you have the .Net Framework installed in your (currently Windows operating system), the applications you create will work "fine".

Hope this helps!
