cultureinfo

I have a problem with the TypeConverter class. It works fine with CultureInvariant values but cannot convert specific cultures like English thousands separators. Below is a small test program that I cannot get to work. Here's the problem :) - ConvertFromString throws an exception with the following message "2,999.95 is not a valid value for Double." and with the inner exception "Input string was not in a correct format." . using System; using System.Globalization; using System.ComponentModel; class Program { static void Main() { try { var culture = new CultureInfo("en"); var typeConverter =

I'm working on a SL5 app with C# and I'm looking to internationalize it. I found the following to set the UI culture: var culture = new CultureInfo(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture; Some controls like the DatePicker seem to pick this up. If I format any datetime by using the 'd' format string, I still get the default format "M/dd/yyyy" however. Exactly how does SL interpret culture and how can I set it correctly for the entire application? Thanks UPDATE: Found the

Is there a way to find the days that constitute a weekend or workweek based on different cultures using the .NET framework? For example, some Muslim countries have a workweek from Sunday through Thursday. The only thing i know is how to get the day the week starts. Perhaps this can help: CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek from System.Globalization , perhaps you find in this package something. There are several Calendar-Classses like JulianCalendar, HebrewCalendar and so on. It could be possible to find there what you want. No one had a solution for this so I wrote one.

I have a breakpoint on the "return" line here: [HttpGet] [Route("api/Test/{id1}/{id2}")] public NRBQEntity GetTestMessage(String id1, String id2) { return NRBQClient.GetTestMessage(id1, id2); } Although it does not crash the app, when I reach that point, I get, " Exception:Thrown: "Culture is not supported." (System.Globalization.CultureNotFoundException) A System.Globalization.CultureNotFoundException was thrown: "Culture is not supported." " Which culture is trying to be supported, why is it not supported, and what, if anything, should I do to support the culture? UPDATE Answer to sphanley:

Assuming an invariant culture , is it possible to define a different group separator in the format - than the comma? Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:#,##0}", 2295)); Output: 2,295 Desired output: 2.295 The invariant culture is a requirement because currencies from many different locales are being formatted with format strings, that have been user defined. Ie for Denmark they have defined the price format to be "{0:0},-", while for Ireland it might be "€{0:#,##0}". When you have different format strings, this does not mean

Here is my code. double value = double.Parse(Utility.GetParamValueOrDefault(omRecord.paramList[i].value, "0"),CultureInfo.CurrentCulture); this is the error i'm getting FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format i have read some threads of StackOverFlow saying i need to add into main() of my WPF application the following code. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata( XmlLanguage

This is driving me crazy. I have the following string in a ASP.NET 2.0 WebForm Page string s = "0.009"; Simple enough. Now, if my culture is Spanish - which is "es-ES" - and I try to convert the string to Double, I do the following: double d = Double.Parse(s, new CultureInfo("es-ES")); what I'd expect is 0,009. Instead, I get 9. I understand that .NET thinks it is a thousand separator, which in en-US is a comma, but shouldn't it take the culture info I'm passing to the parse method and apply the correct format to the conversion? If I do double d = 0.009D; string formatted = d.ToString(new
