DateTime.ParseExact() does not grok 24-hour time values?
“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);

culture invariant object ToString()
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}”)
How to produce localized date string with CultureInfo
You can use the second argument to the toString function and use any language/culture you need… You can use the “d” format instead of ToShortDateString according to MSDN… So basically something like this to return as Australian English: CultureInfo enAU = new CultureInfo(“en-AU”); dt.ToString(“d”, enAU); you could modify your method to include the language and … Read more
Programmatic way to get all the available languages (in satellite assemblies)

Setting Culture (en-IN) globally in WPF application
I think you will need to add the following. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(“en-IN”); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(“en-IN”); FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata( XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag))); Read more here: http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2009/Jun/14/WPF-Bindings-and-CurrentCulture-Formatting Just to give you an example, this is how I initialize the Culture in my program, based on the user setting, but you can simply replace UserSettings.DefaultCulture and UserSettings.Default.UICultrue with … Read more
Difference between CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture() and the constructor of the class?
The factory method has an fallback when it fails to create the culture info. So if you use a specific culture like ‘en-XX’, the culture info instance can’t be created, an exception will throw and a retry with the neutral culture ‘en’ will succeed. Below the source of the factory method public static CultureInfo CreateSpecificCulture(string … Read more
Convert any currency string to double
I think this should work: double.Parse(currencyValue, NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol | NumberStyles.Currency); Here you can see more about the NumberStyles. Edit: In case anyone sees this answer without looking at the other answers/comments, this answer answered the question as written, but storing currency as a double is not a good idea, and it would be better to use … Read more
Format string by CultureInfo
Use the Currency standard format string along with the string.Format method that takes a format provider: string.Format(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(“en-GB”), “{0:C}”, amount) The CultureInfo can act as a format provider and will also get you the correct currency symbol for the culture. Your example would then read (spaced for readability): <td style=”text-align:center”> <%# string.Format(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(“en-GB”), “{0:C}”, Convert.ToSingle(Eval(“tourOurPrice”)) … Read more
How to Convert Persian Digits in variable to English Digits Using Culture?

Culture invariant Decimal.TryParse()
In fact CultureInfo.InvariantCulture can be used here. The parameter expects IFormatProvider, an interface that CultureInfo implements. But InvariantCulture is invariant in the sense that it does not vary with the user’s settings. In fact, there is no culture that accepts either , or . as decimal separator – they are all one or the other. … Read more
