Assume that I only have a country code (en, de, fr) and I need to display the weekdays in this language. I know about RegionInfo and CultureInfo - but I can't find a solution. If I create a country info from (for an example) "en" I have no DateTime info in it. It would also be OK to just take the first matching Region. For an example en-...
i have multilingual asp.net site. there is a masterpage and default.aspx. I put two buttons in masterpage - one to click when i want to change the language to english, second for polish. Of course, I want to change the language after click on these buttons (and all changes should appear automatically on the page) here is a code for bo...
Hi, I have a problem with the TypeConverter class. It works fine with CultureInvariant values but cannot convert specific cultures like English thousands separators. Below is a small test program that I cannot get to work. Here's the problem :) - ConvertFromString throws an exception with the following message "2,999.95 is not a valid v...
We develop an established software which works fine on all known computers except one. The problem is to parse strings that begin with "8". It seems like "8" in the beginning of a string is a reserved character. Parsing: int.Parse("8") -> Exception message: Input string was not in a correct format. int.Parse("80") -> 0 int.Parse("88") ...
I need to store multiple currencies in SQL server. I understand that SQL won't support all different types of currencies (unless I store it as a string, but I don't want to do that). My idea was to convert all the values from their currency format to a standard double and store that instead. Then just re-format based on the culture info...
Is there a way to get current information dynamically from the apps culture settings? Basically if the user has set the culture to US I want to know the currency is dollars, or if they have it set to UK I want to pound sterling etc... etc.. This is so I can send this information to PayPal when a payment is being made ...
Hey, sorry for my bad english... I have a very simple textbox on my sl4 app, like this: <TextBox Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource Valor}, Path=ValorReal, ValidatesOnExceptions=True, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, StringFormat=\{0:c\}, NotifyOnValidationError=True}" /> and a class like: public class Valor: INotifyPrope...
I'm trying to parse a string containing milliseconds like this: string s = "11.05.2010 15:03:08.7718687"; // culture: de-CH DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(s); // works However, for example under the de-DE locale, the decimal separator is a comma (not a dot). So the example becomes: string s = "11.05.2010 15:03:08,7718687"; // culture...

Hi All, I need to localize an application and have noticed that several countries don't appear in the list of county codes associated to cultureInfo. One example is Cyprus, I assume there might be others. If i need to localize settings for Cyprus (or other missing ones) how would I rename my resource files that they would render the c...
I want to get a list of timezones, so that i can populate the dropdown list. In .NET 3.5, we have TimeZoneInfo namespace, here is the code: ReadOnlyCollection<TimeZoneInfo> timeZones = TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones(); foreach (TimeZoneInfo timeZone in timeZones) string name = timeZone.DisplayName However, "DisplayName" is in En...
Why is CultureInfo.DisplayName in Sami all of a sudden? I use it to display a list of country names. Not a good idea perhaps but it worked until recently and I'm quite sure it was in Swedish (I guess it could have been English.) MSDN says This property represents the localized name from the .NET Framework version. For example, if t...
I am revising for the MCTS example and am on a small section regarding Culture-Insensitive comparisons. I get the principle, you don't two items which are the same (i.e dates) but are displayed differently and hence are pragmatically marked as different. However call me stupid but I am finding it hard to see where I can use it is pract...
I'm going through some silverlight apps and reviewing date formatting to make sure the presentation is appropriate for the viewer. with an implementation of IValueConverter, where does the culture parameter come from in the Convert/ConvertBack functions? it seems to not be CultureInfo.CurrentCulture which I think is what I want. ...
I'm having trouble with CultureInfo in our ASP.NET web application. Our web application returns a different culture, depending on which application pool it is in. In application pool A, it is en-US, but in application pool B, it's nl-BE. I'd like it to be nl-BE, but can't find where to change this (IIS6 by the way). I'm not even sure ...
Is there a provider who would provide information about a city's - it's history, Climate, Major religions, Language Distribution, important attractions .. I checked stackoverflow earlier and from this I see an option of using Wikipedia - either scrape the screen or use DBPedia, WEX and others. I would like to know if there is any provi...
I have a problem with String.Format. The following code formats the string correctly apart from the first integer. Current culture is set to Iraqi arabic (ar-IQ): int currentItem= 1; string of= "من"; int count = 2; string formatted = string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0}{1}{2}", currentItem, of, count); The text is formatted ...
I'm trying to get my clients' country, so I use CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. Problem is that when my Canadian customers use my website, they're showing up as American. It looks like CultureInfo.CurrentCulture is returning my server's country instead of their country. So how do I get my clients' country? ...
I am using this standard code for populating list of countries: static void Main(string[] args) { List cultureList = new List(); CultureInfo[] cultures = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures & ~CultureTypes.NeutralCultures); foreach (CultureInfo culture in cultures) { try { Regio...
I am trying to get the users preferred language. I see all kinds of articles on how to set it, but they assume that the user is telling it which language to select (like in a dropdownlist). In Firefox under Tools > Options > Content > Languages > Choose you can select which languages you prefer and choose their order. I want to be ab...
