On my Windows Server 2008 R2 server, I’ve set the:

“Region and Language” -> “Formats” -> “Danish (Denmark”

When I see the settings here, and when I click the “Additional Settings”, it seems correct. However, in my application, it is not set correct. Here my output is still American.

For instance, these two situations I get the problem:

  • Datetime.ToString() gives 11/4/2012 1:18:38 PM instead of 04/11/2012 13:18:38 .
  • When I input a double with 50,00 it is ignored and is set to 5000. When using a dot, it works. it should be a decimal

Of course I could all set this in the application specifically, but I wonder why it is set to English as default when I’ve set the Formats to Danish.

I’ve also set the following:

  • Location = “Denmark”
  • Default Input Language = “Danish”

How do I fix it? 🙂

    ASP.NET runs under a different user account, so you’ll need to copy the regional settings across.

    In the Region and Language control panel, on the Administrative tab, you should have a Copy settings… button. This will copy the settings from your account to the welcome screen, system accounts and new user accounts.

    Another thing to check would be the <globalization> section in your web.config file – you might be picking up the culture settings from the user’s browser.
