How can i globally set the Culture in a WPF Application?

Question

I would like to set the Culture of a WPF application to a specific one based on user preferences.

I can do this for the current thread via Thread.CurrentThread.Current(UI)Culture, but is there any way to do this globally for the application (so it affects all threads by default)?

Answer 1

there is no way to set it for all threads in the application, however if you are creating the threads in your application you can set the culture for everyone by yourself as you mentioned above

To set the Culture to the Main Application use the following snippet code:

Dim newCulture As CultureInfo = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCulture

Answer 2

Try putting

<UICulture>en-US</UICulture>

... in your csproj file.

(That's according to this.)
