The System.Convert class has a static ToString overload that takes an object. Convert.ToString(obj, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); Based on my benchmarks, this is roughly twice as fast as string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, “{0}”, value) and, more importantly, it looks cleaner. However, if you are building a string already, I’d recommend FormattableString.Invariant. FormattableString.Invariant($”Object value: {obj}”)
These are alternative places where you could search: I can’t find anywhere that’s settings the culture to ‘en-US’… but something is. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name is outputting ‘en-US’ Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol is outputting ‘$’ Try looking for the InitializeCulture method, this method is overridden in ASP.Net pages to set the Culture like: protected override void InitializeCulture() { var hidden = … Read more
In general, you will want to use InvariantCulture if the string you are generating is to be persisted in a way that is independent of the current user’s culture (e.g. in the registry, or in a file). You will want to use CurrentCulture for strings that are to be presented in the UI to the … Read more
Yes. For example: InvariantCulture uses the international symbol for currency: “¤” versus the dollar sign: “$” when formatting currency. For the most part, however, they’re very similar.
It’s not about “combining” Dev and Ops, that’s just the word for it as, I think, it was coined by Patrick Debois. As stated above, it’s about providing the scaffolding or structure, and the cultural change to accept intermingling of Dev-side and Ops-side talent, to allow you bridge the DevOps gap. What they used to … Read more
How about DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetDayName( dayOfWeek ) or DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetAbbreviatedDayName( dayOfWeek ) Simply takes a DayOfWeek enumeration and returns string that is the name in the current culture. Edit: If you’re looking for a specific culture it would be var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo( “it-IT” ); var dateTimeInfo = cultureInfo.DateTimeFormat; then you can call GetDayName or GetAbbreviatedDayName as … Read more
As Joe pointed out, culture is transferred by the HttpContext in ASP.NET. The way ASP.NET does this is by installing a SynchronizationContext when a request starts, and that context is also used to resume asynchronous methods (by default). So, there are a couple of ways to approach the problem: you can either write your own … Read more
The following properties exist on the navigator object (which can also be known as clientInformation on IE but there’s no reason ever to use that name): language (non-IE, browser install language) browserLanguage (IE, browser install language) userLanguage (IE, user-level OS-wide language setting) systemLanguage (IE, OS installation language) But! You should never use any of these … Read more
I maintain the Korean IME (Input Method Editor) for Microsoft Windows and Office. Thus I work with Korean devs on a daily basis, Japanese devs regularly, and Chinese devs occasionally. We all code in C/C++. I am most familiar with the code for the Korean IME. There are a few places with comments in Korean … Read more
Yes, you need to escape the word by putting it in ‘ marks dddd, d MMM, yyyy ‘at’ HH:mm Custom DateTime string formatting
