Why is CultureInfo.DisplayName in [Sami][1] 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.)

I ve seen more Sites but i can't able to understand guys
Ex:("CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo( "hi-IN" );")
I am Using javascript calander to select date into textbox. I have Set the Date Format MM-DD-YYYY . Now when i convert this text string to DateTime then my Actual month of date is changed.
IFormatProvider theCultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB", true);
DateTime date = DateTime.ParseExact(txtDate.Text, "mm-dd-yyyy", theCultureInfo);
For example If i Put in Text Box 2-12-2011 (12 Feb 2011) Then After Converting It will 12-01-2011 00:02:00 .
Does the DateTime object stores the CultureInfo with it, or you need to use the Formatter to format the DateTime according to current culture ?
I have a class property that retuns a DateTime. Within that property I am setting the DateTime object with current culture information using CultureInfo object. Below is the code for class property I am using:
public DateTime PrintedQuoteDate {
get{
DateTime printQuoteDate = DateTime.Today;
// cInfo = CultureInfo object
return Convert.ToDateTime(printQuoteDate , cInfo);
}
}
So my question is when I will use the above property in my code, will it have the corrosponding culture information that I am setting in its get method, or I will have to use the same CONVERT code for formatting date time. The restriction here is that the Property should return only DateTime type.
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.
I want to format "{1500.50:c}" as: '1500.50', but the standard for my culture 'nl-NL', is: '€ 1.500,00'. We don't have the user-rights, since it's a webapplication, to register custom cultures, therefore we're looking for a runtime solution.
We want a "set and forget" solution. Not a Util class with static (extension) methods, but an application wide solution, so we can continue to use the standard .ToString("c"), or ToString("N") logic, which would follow our custom rules. This would be to alter the .NumberFormat of the Culture, but how? Everything seems to be readonly.
I could definitely accomplish what I want with a custom handler, but I was hoping it would be possible to adjust the web.config to define allowable cultures. Basically, I have a website that has resource files for a number of languages. I would like to deploy the same website to different domains with different configurations specifying the default cultures. I know I can set a specific culture to be used in the web.config, but can I also specify multiple cultures? Even though I have English language resource files, I don't want a visitor from the US to certain domains to see the English version, but I can't fix the site for a single culture, either.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple application roughly following the nerd dinner tutorial. I am trying to get [DisplayName("Fancy Name")] to pretty up the output from <%= Html.LabelFor(model => model.Booking.Name)%> in my create/edit view. I am using a form view controller which looks like this...
View 3 RepliesI have an ASP .NET Web Forms application that makes use of the 'WebMethod' attribute for making AJAX calls from jQuery. I'm dealing with trying to localize the application so I recently created a web method that looks something like this for testing purposes:
[code]....
I have an HttpModule that is setting the 'CurrentCulture' and 'CurrentUICulture' properties of the current thread to 'pt-BR' (Brazilian Portuguese) at the 'BeginRequest' event.
Client side, I have a jQuery AJAX call to this 'HandleDate' web method that is providing the dateValue parameter as '18/10/2010'. In the 'pt-BR' culture this should evaluate to October 18, 2010 (day/month/year date format).
When I execute this I'm getting back an error indicating that the 'System.Web.Script.Serialization.ObjectConverter' is blowing up stating that '18/11/2010' is not a valid value for DateTime. The stack trace included with the error indicates that this was thrown by the 'System.ComponentModel.DateTimeCoverter.ConvertFrom' method, which accepts the object to be converted in addition to a CultureInfo object representing the culture that should be applied during the conversion.
I fired up Reflector and it appears that the 'ObjectConverter' is invoking the 'DateTimeConverter' using CultureInfo.InvariantCulture instance, which I think is the problem.
How can I force this logic to use the CultureInfo attached to the current thread instead of the InvariantCulture?
Given the following object
public class CompetitionYear : IValidatableObject{public Guid Id { get; set; } [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Terms), Name = "Description")]public string Description { get; set; } [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Terms), Name = "Startdate")]public DateTime Startdate { get; set; } [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Terms), Name = "Enddate")]public DateTime Enddate { get; set; } }
In a View I want to show a table with in the headers the DisplayName of the respective properties.
The view is like this:
@model IEnumerable<CompetitionYear> @{ ViewBag.Title = "Index";} <h2>Index</h2> <p> @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")</p><table> <tr> <th></th> <th> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.FirstOrDefault().Description) </th> <th> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.FirstOrDefault().Startdate) </th> <th> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.FirstOrDefault().Enddate) </th> </tr> @foreach (var item in Model) { <tr> <td> @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.Id }) | @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.Id }) | @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.Id }) </td> <td> @item.Description </td> <td> @String.Format("{0:D}", item.Startdate) </td> <td> @String.Format("{0:D}", item.Enddate) </td> </tr>} </table>
In the headers I want to show the DisplayName of the property. The only way I can get it working is as shown above. It really looks ugly and I can't imagine there isn't a better solution. Is there a better solution and how does it look like?
I got custom attributes to work on the server and client, now I want to DRY things up just a little more. How do you override the pattern for RegularExpressionAttribute to include the DisplayName?
Right now I am like this:

How to get at the DisplayName?
What is the best way to retrieve the display name attribute for an item in your model? I see a lot of people using the LabelFor helper for everything, but a label isn't appropriate if I just want to list the data out. Is there an easy way just get the Name Attribute if I just want to print it out in, say a paragraph?
View 1 Repliesi would localize the text of DisplayName attribute: i know that at the moment is not possible (i hope that the next version of mvc will do it automatically) so i tried to search how to do it and i found this link:
LINK TO BLOG'S POST
but i didn't understand how to finish the lookup function.
here some informations from the first minutes.
View 7 RepliesSo, I've got an contact form in my MVC 2 application.
I'd like to programatically email all properties of my "ContactModel".
Here is what I'd like to do in psuedo-ish code:
[Code]....
In case it matters...ContactModel sets up the DisplayName attributes like this:
[DisplayName("First Name")]
public string FirstName {get; set ;}
I'd like to keep this nice and DRY by not repeating the DisplayName names.
Specifically, I'd like to enumerate over each property in my ContactModel, get its DisplayName, and get its submitted value.
I have a Car class that I'm trying to display in an MVC 3 view using the WebGrid helper. Below are the Car and it's metadata class.
Car class:
[MetadataType(typeof(CarMetadata))]
public partial class Car
{
// car implementation
}
Car metadata class:
public class CarMetadata
{
[DisplayName("Car Name")]
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(ValidationText), ErrorMessageResourceName="CarNameDescriptionLength")]
[Required]
public string CarName { get; set; }
}
View contents:
@model List<Car>
...
var grid = new WebGrid(Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 10);
grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious);
@grid.GetHtml(
htmlAttributes: new { id = "grid" },
columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column("CarName", ?????)
));
GOAL: I'd like to figure out how to use the DisplayName data annotation as the column header text in the WebGrid (?????). Does anyone know how this is accomplished?
I'm generating the rdlc at runtime and I'm using LoadReportDefinition(memorystream) to provide the definition to report viewer. It works fine but when I export it to pdf or excel, the file extension comes in as .xls[1] or .pdf[1].
I have tried giving the DisplayName property but it doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a internal web app for a foreign friend.
Since many of the users don't speak english very well, I wanted to add local translation to the web.
It's been a while since I've used .net, and perhaps I'm getting a little bit rusty, but my Localized resources are not working for some reason.
I have a Default.aspx.resx in my App_GlobalResources folder and inside it a small resx file. It simply has one test string: "Button" with the value of "Botón", nothing complex there.
Then I have the test controls: <asp:Localize runat="server" ID="test" Text="Button" meta:resourcekey="Button" /> and <asp:Label ID="header1" runat="server" Text="Button" meta:resourcekey="Button" />
But this isn't updated. Things that I've tried:
1. Put UICulture in the Page Tag
2. Renamed the resource file to Default.aspx.es.resx
3. Put my browser in 'es-ES' locale
4. Tried to load the resources explicitly inside <%%>

I am trying to localize my wesbite from English to Spanish. The website is built in Spanish. I have done such work perfectly in a html website but i do not have experience with .net localization. I know only Resource files are need to be translated.
View 7 RepliesI need a sample project for Globalization (multilingual) developed in VB.NET (2008).
View 1 RepliesI have a mixed project: WebForms with ASP.NET MVC2 and is running OK. I have done this tutorial on separate MVC Project and localization is working fine. However, when I want to apply localization (mentioned above) in my mixed project, it seems to be ignored. It doesn't matter what I set in global.asax file (de-DE, fr-FR, pl-PL) always get en-EN or en-GB. This is really strange. web.config is correct and doesn't force the localization.
View 1 RepliesI have tried every method I can find about localization but no one is working.I have a page LocTest.aspx
[Code]....
I have two resources files:LocTest.resx and LocTest.sv-SE.resx which should set the lables text to "English" or "Svenska" depending of the language setting in the browser.This should just work acording to many sites, some write that I need to put code in the Page_PreInit, Globax.asax or Web.config but nothing works not even when I try to hard code the culture to be used.Do's anyone have any samples that I can use just to see that it works cause I'm ready to give up (which I can't unfortentley).
