app.config globalization

Question

web.config allow a globalization tag: This setting will set the globalization for the entire ASP.NET application.

Does this tag work in app.config in standard forms applications too? If yes... where shall it be placed?

---

Or.. is there another way to set the globalization for the entire forms application. Including dll's and all threads?

Answer 1

take a look at the following topic: How to: Set the Culture and UI Culture for Windows Forms Globalization

To set the Culture to the Main Application use the following snippet code:

Dim newCulture As CultureInfo = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCulture

Thanks, But is there no way to set it for all threads in the application? – Azoth

I don't think so, however if you are creating the threads in your application you can set the culture for everyone by yourself. – Ryder
