String - Changing The Culture Based Off Of A Dynamic Value?
Mar 17, 2011
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.
how can to get culture info or just culture name from the datetime string e.g i have strings like: "16/02/2008" or "23/02/2008 " can i know the culture name from the above datetime strings?
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:
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'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]....
i'm trying to change the ImageButton on my site using resx files. i tried assigning my ImageButton with meta:ResourceKey="imgBtnSubmit". then in my resx file, i added imgBtnSubmit.ImageUrl and assigned it the url to my new ImageButton. this didn't work for me. could someone tell me if i'm doing something wrong or if there is some other way i could do this?
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.
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 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?
I have an Label where I need to show the value 0.00 if the culture is Englidh and 0,00 if the Culture is french. I am using the following code but it does not work.
If culture is en-GB then string dateFormat="dd/mmyyyy"; string timeFormat="24.00 hrs";
and so on for other countries..Now how do I get these date and time format values ? What are the standards? Like which all countries use similar date/time formats and which ones don't ?ok I tried this :- DateTime myDate = new DateTime(); string us = myDate.ToString(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
string us gets value =1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
Now how do I extract "dd/mm/yyyy" and "24.00 hrs" out of this...in my Dateformat column in my Table... I want to store STRINGS such as dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy NOT dates..In my TimeFormat column in the table, the values to be stores are STRINGS too, like I need to store either "24:00hrs" or "12:00hrs"
How do I do this now ?**using ShorTimePattern returns these values as h:mm tt and HH:mm
If I want to store the values in my DB exactly as "24:00hrs" and "12:00hrs", how do I use these values..h:mm tt and HH:mm,which one is for 24 hr format and which for 12 hr format ?**I want the information about Decimal Separator and Thousand Separator too based on the CultureInfo...whats the property for that ?

I have a scenario where I am using CalendarExtender on a page with UICulture and Culture as "en-US".
But I want to show CalendarExtender in "de-DE" culture. I know that I can set up EnableScriptGlobalization="True" EnableScriptLocalization="true" for ScriptManager and CalendarExtender will show up as per culture defined for page. But this does not work for me because I can not change page level UICulture and Culture from "en-US" to "de-DE" ( If I do so, I face double value issue. e.g. double d = 12.34; is displayed as 12,34 on UI and then its unmanagable while editing values).
So coming back to my problem, Can I just change culture for CalendarExtender so that page culture is set to "en-US" and calender is shown in some different language? I know its not something straightforward, I might need to dig up source code.
create db driven meta keywords/description. I would store these records in a database, xml format i presume; since it would be per culture.How would i go about doing this?
I have a repeater control that generates a dynamic menu in an unordered list format. I have given each <li> item an id that includes a value from my database to make them unique:
<li id="category<%adding in my dynamic value from database here%>"><a href="#">Some Link</a></li>
One of the values that gets added to my list ids will match my querystring, making it the current page. So therefore I would like to highlight this to the user by changing the css class of the relevant li element. In my code behind I have created a string variable that takes the querystring value and modifies it to match the id. So for example my variable is "category7" - and I also have an li item on my page with an id of "category" How would I go about matching these two things in my VB and adding a class to the li element where the id = my variable.
I created a custom clander server control basing on "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Calandar" and when i change the culture from login Screen (Ex:- Spanish) i am setting only the UI Culture in the page base class. When i had the Both "CurrentUICulture" and "CurrentCulture" set i could see the Day (Mon Tue) of the my custcalander control in the corresponding culture, but when i commented out i see them in English only (not in the corresponding culture set while loggin in. The reason why i commented out the "CurrentCulture" was that when i set this the middle tier or code behind files also running in this culture (as we are setting on the CurrentThread culture) and causing decimal data coming in this culture (Ex:- spain) and so on. So i only set the "CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture" only to corresponding culture and not the "Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture". Is there a way to acheive this, i mean How to make the Day (Ex:- Mon, Tue, Wed) in the corresponding culture with out setting "Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture"?
