C# – Coma and Dot decimal separator
Hi peeps, You probably know the common issue with the decimal seprator. Depending on the country, the keyboard or what your client wants (which can be variable…), the separator will be a coma or a dot (or even something else…).

Xamarin.Forms – Use built-in Dependency Injection (IoC)

Of course you can still use other ones like MvvmCross, Ninject and so on, but they will ask you a bit more configuration and changes in your code.
