How to change the current thread current culture at run time.

Manu

I have created a new culture :
Dim objCulture As New CultureInfo("he") //hebrew

When I tried to assign it to the current thread.

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = objCulture
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCulture
This Caused an exception :
" Culture "he" is a neutral culture. It can not be used in
formatting and parsing and therefore cannot be set as the
thread's current culture. "
what is the problem ?

Hi,

The right way to set neutral culture is by using CreateSpecificCulture
static function :

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCul ture("he");

Neutral cultures are cultures that just the language set, without the
location.
