cultureinfo

I'm modifying a globalized web application which uses stored CultureInfo for each logged in user. The client would like time data entry to be localized. Displaying is not a problem as the formatting is already available. However I need to detect if the current cultureinfo is for 24 hour time or am/pm so I can display the correct input boxes (not just a textfield). My initial idea was to check the DateTimeInfo property of CultureInfo and see if the ShortTimePattern contained a capital H or a lower case h but this didn't feel robust enough for me. Is there a better way? I've read the class

I have a decimal value ("133,3") stored in string column in the database, in norway culture. after that user changed the regional setting to english-Us. when I convert "133,3" to decimal using CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, getting invalid value or error. is there any best way to handle this scenario in C# application? regards, Anand Regardless of the system culture, if you specify CultureInfo.InvariantCulture you won't be able to parse "133,3" as a decimal to 133.3. The same is true for US English. You could just specify a Norwegian culture when parsing the value (using the overload of decimal

i have a list of email addresses of people that have different nationalities (for each person i have the iso code) when i send the email to all these people, in the text of the mail i need to to convert a datetime field to a string formatted in their specific culture. for this i'm doing CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(ISO); myStringDate = myDate.ToString(ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern); and work perfect, but if i use LongDatePattern instead short, for displaying date like "Monday, 13 June 2010" its work fine except the language of the day and month. if the person culture is it-IT i need

I have the code: DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() That give's me the english day of the week name, I want to have the german version, how to add CultureInfo here to get the german day of the week name? var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE"); var day = culture.DateTimeFormat.GetDayName(DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek); You can use the DateTimeFormat.DayNames property of the german CultureInfo . For example: CultureInfo german = new CultureInfo("de-DE"); string sunday = german.DateTimeFormat.DayNames[(int)DayOfWeek.Sunday]; Despota This is the solution in Visual Basic Dim

I'm reading encrypted credentials/connection strings from a config file. Resharper tells me, "String.IndexOf(string) is culture-specific here" on this line: if (line.Contains("host=")) { _host = line.Substring(line.IndexOf( "host=") + "host=".Length, line.Length - "host=".Length); ...and so wants to change it to: if (line.Contains("host=")) { _host = line.Substring(line.IndexOf("host=", System.StringComparison.Ordinal) + "host=".Length, line.Length - "host=".Length); The value I'm reading will always be "host=" regardless of where the app may be deployed. Is it really sensible to add this

I need a list of cultures that are supported by .NET 3.5, regardless of the OS used. This seems to be quite a struggle to obtain, though I am not sure why! Edit: Arghh, I was not aware that it is dependent on the OS, that would explain the lack of documentation. Any ideas on what is supported by Mac/Linux OS as well? Thanks :) Unfortunately, it is OS dependent. Check here for default language support per OS. Note, the CultureInfo documentation warns: Windows versions or service packs can change the available cultures. In ASP.NET, it's the browser that's important versus the OS. It can tell you

This line of code: DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "hh:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); parses a "time" value of "12:45" just fine, but throws an exception of "13:00" Should I be using some other CultureInfo value, or do I need to append a "pm" to hour values above 12, or ... ? Error message is: System.FormatException was unhandled Message=String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. "hh" is the 12-hour clock format (01 to 12). You need to use "HH" for a 24 hour clock. DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "HH:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); Try this: DateTime dt = DateTime

Do anyone have suggestion for writing culture sensitive ParseFloat Function in JavaScript, So that when I have a string 100,000.22 in US culture format the parse float function returns 100000.22 whereas if I enter 100.000,22 in Swedish Culture it returns 100000.22 in float? Alex Polishchuk I've improved mwilcox' function to handle values withous separators. function parseFloatOpts (str) { if(typeof str === "number"){ return str; } var ar = str.split(/\.|,/); var value = ''; for (var i in ar) { if (i>0 && i==ar.length-1) { value += "."; } value +=ar[i]; } return Number(value); } This is a bit
