Execute task with the CurrentCulture set to the Task creator CurrentCulture

Question

I\'ve an application where we use Tasks. We also modified the cultureInfo(we use the EN-US language, but keep the date/number format), and we use .Net 4.0.

Just to add some more detail to @Yuval Itzchakov answer, I normally create some extension methods for the TaskFactory class that preserve the Culture (I normally also add one that receives an action that sets any given property to the executing thread:

#region StartNewWithPersistedCulture methods

public static Task StartNewWithPersistedCulture(
    this TaskFactory taskFactory, Func function, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default (CancellationToken), TaskCreationOptions creationOptions = default (TaskCreationOptions))
{
    if (taskFactory == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("taskFactory");
    if (function == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("function");

    var currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
    var currentUICulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture;
    return taskFactory.StartNew(
        () =>
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = currentCulture;
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentUICulture;

            return function();
        }, cancellationToken, creationOptions, TaskScheduler.Default);
}

public static Task StartNewWithPersistedCulture(
    this TaskFactory taskFactory, Action action, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default (CancellationToken), TaskCreationOptions creationOptions = default (TaskCreationOptions))
{
    if (taskFactory == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("taskFactory");
    if (action == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("action");

    var currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
    var currentUICulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture;
    return taskFactory.StartNew(
        () =>
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = currentCulture;
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentUICulture;

            action();
        }, cancellationToken, creationOptions, TaskScheduler.Default);
}
