Localization :: Programatically Changing UICulture And Culture?
Jul 15, 2010
I'm trying to change the value of the language and culture values via a database entry and then appending the culture to the returned value. IE: "en" is in the database, I add "-CA" via VB code.When I hardcode the values, it does work no problem. However, appding the "-CA" makes it crash with the following error message:
[Code]....
Now, I'm retrieving the language value from a database and, since the information is used all over the web site, I cannot really change the data within the database.The following code is posted in the Default.aspx page, called by the master page.The function "siteSetLanguage" retrieves from the database the base language (EN/FR) and returns the value. Null values are checked for and if a null value is returned from the database, it defaults to EN.[Code]....
I do want to force UICulture to english as everything in the databases and external files are stored through the english canadian regional method. However, I've been trying to use .resx files using the above method, but to no avail.Needless to say, my language files don't seem to work no matter what I do.

I'm using the following msdn article to use different languages in my web application:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fw69ke6f(v=VS.80).aspx
I'm following the instructions step by step in VS 2010, and it creates the resource files exactly how it's supposed to. However, when I run the program it just doesn't apply it. I don't see the different values from the resource file.
If I leave my resource file name as sample.aspx.resx, it works. But when I change it to sample.aspx.en-us.resx, it doesn't work. I'm supplying culture from the aspx page's Culter and UICulture properties. I'm being very careful in choosing the correct file name, as that could be the issue, but it just doesn't work. I also tried changing the culture in the backend code this way:
Protected
Overrides
Sub InitializeCulture() [code]....
It still doesn't work.

I am working on an ASP.net web application, the application need to display text in English, Chinese and Japanese based on the parameters passed, however the culture settings such as currency symbol, time and number format should remain as en-US locale.
My understanding about ASP.Net localization is a package deal, am I wrong? If I am right, the only way to do this is to roll my own solution?

And i have a language flags in my master page. so i have created image button for language flag to perform on click action. where On click of language flag (polish) i like to change the content (English) of my page as per the selected flag click.

And in code behind --- ImageButton1_Click
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("pl-PL")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("pl-PL")
Response.Write(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture)
Dim geturl As String
geturl = Request.Url.ToString()

Can I call Initialize Culture of every page from the Global.asax?
Every page looks at the query string of "?lang=##" and sets the language accordingly. Since all pages do this, is there a place where I can implement it once and all pages will load it?
My site has around 200 pages and I dont want to implement the code in everypage. Would take too long for maintenance and to implement. It would be more convinient if I could simply put it in a function that all pages call when loading.

When I was localizing my web application I got one strange doubt.
In the first request i set current thread's current culture to user chosen culture. It worked fine for that particular request. But when i browsed for other page, server rendered content in default english culture. I think the reason meight be "http is stateless" means current request is served by a thread whose culture was set properly. Send request will be serverd another thread which does not about previous thread. So we should once again assign culture to this thread. Localization can be done by setting culture to a session variable.
So my question is what is the benifit that we get by setting culture to current thread. With setting to thread we can show the page in user desired language.

i'm trying to set my website's culture programmatically, so when a user clicks a button they can change the text on the page from english to spanish. here's my code:
protected void btnChangeLanguage(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("es");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es);
}
<asp:Label ID="lblDisplay" runat="server" meta:ResourceKey="lblDisplay" />
<asp:Button ID="btnChangeLanguage" runat="server" Text="Change Language"
OnClick="btnChangeLanguage_Click" />
i have a Default.aspx.resx file with a key/value of: lblDisplay.text/English and a Default.aspx.es.resx file with a key/value of: lblDisplay.text/Espanol. i can't get my Label's text to change from "English" to "Spanish". anyone see what i'm doing wrong?

I am working on a website web site where each user has a culture setting to allow control of resources displayed. The main page has two views, one the log on screen, the second the main menu.
When first loaded the page displays with the culture settings of the previous user (if any). If I then log on as a user with a different culture setting the view changes to the main menu without changing the culture. Go to another page and the user's correct culture settings are picked up, go back to the main menu, uses the correct culture etc.
This is logical but is there a way (without redesigning the site to have a separate log in page and main menu) to reset the culture to the new user's when switching view?

I have a strange problem with ASP.NET. Several sites on my web server run the exact same application. The application has a page that contains a Tab Container from the Ajax Control Toolkit which in itself contains a Calendar control.
If I set my culture in the web.config to be:
<globalization culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB" />
Then everything works fine. However, by changing this to:
<globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-US" />
When attempting to load the page I get an out of memory exception and w3wp.exe seems to use all available memory.

I have a web application that tracks financial data. I would like to have the option where a user can edit their currency via dropdown. The different currency types will be held in a database and a user can then select which currency they wish to use. The easiest way I can see doing this would be to check what the currency value is and dynamically change the culture to match the currency, thus I could continue to use the string str = String.Format("{0:C}", revenue);format. I am open to other suggestions but this just seemed the most logical to me.

i designed an export to excel page that uses the following code
the data is displayed in grid view and the date format is displayed as M/d/yyyy
so i added the culture en-GB to page directive to display the date as d/M/yyyy
the date now displays correctly d/M/yyyy, and the utf-8 also display correctly in gridview.
however once i export to excel the utf-8 appears scrambled
when ever i remove the culture from page directives, names display correctly, however i face again the M/d/yyyy issue.
My question is: is there a way to display date as d/M/yyyy and at the same time reading correct utf-8
