Question

I am using CultureModule.cs in my project to set culture info based on the value of my variable. Here is the example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Globalization; 

namespace CwizBankApp
{
    public class CultureModule:IHttpModule 
    {
        public void Dispose()
        {
        }
        public void Init(HttpApplication context)
        {
            context.PostAuthenticateRequest += 
                          new EventHandler(context_PostAuthenticateRequest);
        }
        void context_PostAuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            CultureInfo currentCulture;
            if (Global.gDateFormat.Trim() == "British")
            {
                currentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
            }
            else
            {
                currentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
            }


            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture 
                                                             = currentCulture;
        }
    }
}

After this I am configuring it in web.config as follows:

<add name="CultureModule" 
               type="CwizBankApp.HttpModules.CultureModule,CwizBankApp"/>

Currently my variable is in British format, however dates are being performed in US format.

My question is, am I doing it in a right manner or something is still missing.

Answer 1

The formats depend on Thread.CurrentUICulture.

So you would do:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentCulture;

See how to set the Culture in asp.net on msdn.
