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
Plain freeform text. Validating all the world’s post/zip codes is too hard; a fixed list of countries is too politically sensitive; mandatory state/region/other administrative subdivision is just plain inappropriate (all too often I’m asked which county I live in–when I don’t, because Greater London is not a county at all). More to the point, it’s … Read more
I don’t know a built-in way to set it from App.config, but you could just define a key in your App.config like this <configuration> <appSettings> <add key=”DefaultCulture” value=”pt-BR” /> </appSettings> </configuration> and in your application read that value and set the culture CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[“DefaultCulture”]); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture; Also, as … Read more
You need to define a single locale that you will use for the data stored in the database, the invariant culture is there for exactly this purpose. When you display convert to the native type and then format for the user’s culture. E.g. to display: string fromDb = “123.56”; string display = double.Parse(fromDb, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(userCulture); to … Read more
I sympathize with the need to constrain input in this situation, but I don’t believe it is possible – Unicode is vast, expanding, and so is the subset used in names throughout the world. Unlike email, there’s no universally agreed-upon standard for the names people may use, or even which representations they may register as … Read more
The RegionInfo class does know the three-letter code (in the ThreeLetterISORegionName property), but I don’t think there is a way to get RegionInfo based on this code, you would need to enumerate all regions and add them to your own dictionary, with the three-letter code as a key. However, I think the .NET Framework uses … Read more
Solution: private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { char a = Convert.ToChar(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator); if (e.KeyChar == a) { e.Handled = true; textBox1.Text = “0”; } } That way, when you hit . or , you will have a 0 in your TextBox. EDIT: If you want to insert a 0 everytime you hit the decimal separator, … Read more
I strongly suspect the problem is simply that the current culture of the thread handling the request isn’t set appropriately. You can either set it for the whole request, or specify the culture while formatting. Either way, I would suggest not use string.Format with a composite format unless you really have more than one thing … Read more
Not for entire application or particular class. CurrentUICulture and CurrentCulture are settable per thread as discussed here Is there a way of setting culture for a whole application? All current threads and new threads?. You can’t change InvariantCulture at all. Sample code to change cultures for current thread: CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(theCultureString); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = … Read more
You could try the jQuery Globalization plugin from Microsoft: <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/jquery.glob.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/globinfo/jquery.glob.da-dk.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script type=”text/javascript”> $.validator.methods.number = function (value, element) { return !isNaN($.parseFloat(value)); } $(function () { $.preferCulture(‘da-DK’); }); </script> Plugin was renamed and moved, you should use Globalize (Mar 2012) <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/jquery.globalize/globalize.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199835/@Url.Content(“~/Scripts/jquery.globalize/cultures/globalize.culture.da-DK.js”)” type=”text/javascript”></script> … Read more
