Hi

First some simple code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        }
}

When application is run we set CultureInfo to English. Then we hit a button and in that moment CurrentCulture is back to Windows one and we get date in wrong format. What is the problem and what to do in order to prevent that from happening? Please help.

Regards.

Hello and thanks for a reply.

I know that there is such option.

But our application is huge. We read date dozen of times in different places. More to say sometimes we apply ToString() to an object we dont know yet is datetime value. The number of possible changes and complication in code is too big. Also there are other culture sensitive methods.

Thats why there is Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture to deal with the problem just with one simple code line, I guess.

Is there a way to set the culture for the application globally? (not mentioning setting it in web.config - we want to change it on a fly, when users log).

Regards

Hello ,

in web config try set the Languages element like so:

<WebGUI>
    <Languages>
      <Language Culture="en-US"/>
      <Language Culture="he-IL"/>
