Hello, I have an application that is multilingual. I'm using the out-of-the-box .Net features for this. Each language has its own file in the App_GlobalResources (see iamge below) In the code behind what is better? GetGlobalResourceObject("LocalizedText", "ErrorOccured") Resources.LocalizedText.ErrorOccured The 2nd one uses less cod...
Hi, is the concept culture (as with .NET CultureInfo) to be used solely in localizing appearance of a website (language, date- and numberformatting etc.), or can it be used for localizing website content (location-bound newsmessages, contactdetails etc..)? I need to build a website which supports both multiple-languages as localized co...

Hi, I have an issue with parsing a date during a unit test run, but I cannot reproduce it.

Here's the test: [Test] public void T...
An asp:RangeValidator takes it's culture info from the page/ thread and all advice online around getting the right culture seems to be to set the CultureInfo on the thread.

Hi I have developed a multi-lingual site in ASP.NET, whcih detects the user's system culture, and displays content in the appropriate language. This is all working nicely, but my client has since had an SEO audit. The SEO agency has expressed a concern that this is no good SEO, as ther are not unique URLs for each language. They have ...

I've an application written in C# which has no GUI or UI, but instead writes files that are parsed by another application (in XML and others). I have a customer whose CultureInfo has the NumberDecimalSeparator set to a comma, which causes parsing errors with floating point numbers (PI would end up as 3,1415). I'd like a way to set the ...

Oracle's .NET Developer’s Guide makes a start at this but want a complete list so that I can set this automatically for my database session in my code. ...
I need a list of cultures that are supported by .NET 3.5, regardless of the OS used. This seems to be quite a struggle to obtain, though I am not sure why! Edit: Arghh, I was not aware that it is dependent on the OS, that would explain the lack of documentation. Any ideas on what is supported by Mac/Linux OS as well? Thanks :) ...

Hello everybody. When I try to convert a string to a numeric value with Parse or TryParse or Convert.ChangeType, I can't manage de thousand separator as it is defined in the system: if I enter : var d = double.Parse("1,234", CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture); it does not return 1234.

I know of three ways to get a full language name of a CultureInfo object. CultureInfo.DisplayName CultureInfo.NativeName CultureInfo.EnglishName DisplayName gives the name in the installed .net language. NativeName gives the name in 'CultureInfos' language. EnglishName gives the name in English (surprisingly...) So for CultureIn...

Can anyone tell me where this culture object gets its info from? I have some code that formats a date based on that culture. When i access my silverlight control which is hosted on my machine, ...
Hi, I want to format my numbers throughout the application in a consistent way, no matter what culture is chosen. In fact, it's "non-standard" even for the basic culture that we're using.
