This article should discuss how/where/why to use / set culture specifics in VisualWebGui applications, and provide some samples

Special attention should be payed to DateTimePicker control, and it's inability to obtain it's culture settings from the running thread and instead taking it from Control Panel settings on server.This is changing in version, see the DateTimePicker control.

Also, Localization resources for localizing forms should be discussed here, or on a linked page.

Culture information can either be set in code on each form or application, as we discuss below, or they can be set globally for all the forms in your application by setting it in web.config.

Starting with version 6.4 of Visual WebGui, setting culture information will affect all controls. In earlier versions, some controls (like DateTimePicker) did not draw it's culture settings from the running thread so setting thread culture info did not affect those controls. This has been changed in version 6.4 and later versions.
