DateTime locale settings

Question

We are haveing issue with DateTime on one of our application servers. The issue is the datetime is picking the locale settings as en-US and we want to use en-GB. I tried to Change the server Regional and Language options to UK still having the same issue. I could force DateTime to use en-GB but this will require code changes at various location. I tried to add globalization settings in web.config file still date time is picked as US. Is there a way I can fix this issue on that server since the code works fine on all other servers?

Answer 1

It should be sufficient to set the <globalization> section in web.config. Set both the culture and uiculture parameter. If that won't work you can set the locale per thread via global.asax.

void Application_BeginRequest(object source, EventArgs e)
{
   string Lang = "en-GB";
   System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = 
      new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Lang);
}
