Appendix A. New Internationalization Features in the .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005

This appendix contains a list of the new features in the .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 that are relevant to internationalization. The appendix is useful if you already have a good knowledge of internationalization in the .NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003 and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. It is also useful if you are trying to decide whether to start a new project in your familiar .NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003 or make the leap to the more recent version. The appendix is mostly a list of pointers to sections of this book where the relevant features are covered in more detail.
