Wrong currency symbol in .asp app

[Stuart]

Hi There

Probably missing something drastically obvious here....

I have just moved an .asp application from a test IIS server to a running
IIS server and have become confused... I am using format(blah blah,
"c").ToString

From what I can see both servers are configured exactly the same as far as
regional settings are concerned - however, the new server insists on showing
currency symbol as $ and is also showing the date in an unusual format

What am I missing ?

Thanks

What do you have in the globalization section of your web.config file ?

What do you have for
culture and uiCulture ?

<globalization
culture="xx-XX"
uiCulture="xx-XX" />

Sorry meant the culture entries. AFAIK the best way to control is those
specific files (web.config for a single app, machine.config for all ASP.NET
sites) so that you do'nt have any more to deal with control panel
settings...
