Browsers either use system settings for date formats, or use their own (often US–centric) settings. There is a Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString() method that should return a date based on current system settings, however it’s implementation dependent and completely unreliable due to being inconsistent between browsers. e.g. for me on 13 December, 2011: Safari returns 13 December 2001 … Read more
As Joe pointed out, culture is transferred by the HttpContext in ASP.NET. The way ASP.NET does this is by installing a SynchronizationContext when a request starts, and that context is also used to resume asynchronous methods (by default). So, there are a couple of ways to approach the problem: you can either write your own … Read more
Culture affects how culture-dependent data (dates, currencies, numbers and so on) is presented. Here are a few examples: var date = new DateTime(2000, 1, 2); var number = 12345.6789; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“de-DE”); Console.WriteLine(date); // 02.01.2000 00:00:00 Console.WriteLine(number.ToString(“C”)); // 12.345,68 € Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“fr-CA”); Console.WriteLine(date); // 2000-01-02 00:00:00 Console.WriteLine(number.ToString(“C”)); // 12 345,68 $ Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture … Read more
Changing the current UI culture: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(“he-IL”); or better, retrieve a cached read-only instance of the he-IL culture: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(“he-IL”); At run time, ASP.NET uses the resource file that is the best match for the setting of the CurrentUICulture property. The UI culture for the thread is set according to the UI … Read more
Yes. For example: InvariantCulture uses the international symbol for currency: “¤” versus the dollar sign: “$” when formatting currency. For the most part, however, they’re very similar.
parseFloat doesn’t use your locale’s definition, but the definition of a decimal literal. It only parses . not , I’m brazilian and I have to replace comma with dot before parsing decimal numbers. parseFloat specification
Try this: System.Globalization.CultureInfo customCulture = (System.Globalization.CultureInfo)System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone(); customCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = “.”; System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = customCulture;

All I needed to do to fix this problem was to right-click the Resources.resx file in the Solution Explorer and click Run Custom Tool. This re-generates the auto-generated Resources.Designer.cs file. If the .resx file was added to the project manually, the Custom Tool property of the file must be set to “ResXFileCodeGenerator”. The problem is … Read more
