Globalization - Can You Filter The Allowable CultureInfo Types For A Website?
Apr 27, 2010
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.
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 .
All this work fine when CountryCode is 'US' and language culture is 'en-US'.But when I change to language culture to 'fr-FR' through internet explorer it shows error in ProductDetails.cs page that ''object instance not set to reference"
I want to add mime type in web.config to make downloading files for users.but after adding mime tag, website starts showing internal error 500 and removing this, it runs fine but when user click on files to download then it show error that file not found. So I need to add proper mimetype for my uploaded files. So pls tell me the proper way to add it to web.config file.
I have an application that allows admins to add types such as document types and training types that are in seperate tables with a foreign key in a transaction table.
When structuring my class I decided to go with an abstract-like pattern (without the factory methods though). So I have a Type abstract class that defines my Save, Delete, and GetList methods. I have a training type class that inherits this class. The thing is all types have 3 main properties - defined in the abstract base - but have different source tables and thus different store procedures in my DbCommand object. So basically I repeat setting up the same parameters on all the derived classes. I would like to implement the common stuff in the base but I am getting thrown off by the difference in data sources.
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:
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.
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 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 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?
In securing actions/controllers, do I have to create a custom filter or use MVC built-in filter?
To use the built-in attribute Authorize() on an action/controller or create a separate class that inherits the ActionFilterAttribute which has a method (OnActionExecuting) to override and do the authentication there?
In my organization we use nested groups. For a particular usage, we have a group (let's assume that the group name "kuku"), and the names of all the nested groups under it contains "kuku" as well.
We may assume that no other group in the LDAP has "kuku" in the name.
I need to create a filter which will return all the users which belong to one of the "kuku"s group.
Obviously, using this filter will bring only the head kukus
(&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=kuku,cn=...rest of the group DN...))
How can I use wild card to fetch all users which belong to any kuku?
For example: (&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=.*kuku.*))
I have decorated my base controller with a couple of action filters. They work fine.
One of those filters sets up the request - does things like set the culture based on the domain, etc.
I also have a handful of actions that require authorization using the Authorize attribute.
My problem is that when an user attempts to request a page they are not authorized to access, the authorization filter kicks in and redirects them to a page telling them that they cannot vie the page.
The issue is that the action filters never run so the culture and other request data is never set. This effectively causes language to be wrong in the view and other data to be missing.
I know that authorization filters run first but my question is this: How can I design this such that I can ensure that certain methods are always run before the view is returned, regardless of the authorization.
i have suddenly this exception appears in my application ,i dont know why it shows
imports System.Globalization Dim provider As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture Dim FromDate As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(FromToControl1.FromDate, "dd/MM/yyyy", provider)
I am working on globalization project.In my search.aspx page I have PagedGridview.I has property called EmptyDataText which is set to "NoResults".(EmptyDataText="No Results")
