Setting Culture for ASP.NET MVC application on VS dev server and IIS

Rather than setting the Thread’s culture, you can specify it in the web.config like so:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <globalization uiCulture="en-GB" culture="en-GB" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

That is a more “proper” way of specifying the culture in ASP.NET.
