Question

I am using a try … catch block in main.

When i set the following

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

This takes care of all the exceptions and prints them in English

But this fails for many API’s internally especially for Exceptions caught like directory access ones. Is there something else that needs to be done?

So the main problem is this Execption

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005):

The message after this does not appear in the locale set

I was able to do this by using Win32 FormatMessage Code block

[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
static extern uint FormatMessage( uint dwFlags, IntPtr lpSource, 
   uint dwMessageId, uint dwLanguageId, ref IntPtr lpBuffer, 
   uint nSize, string[] Arguments);

and by setting langid as english!
