Custom Cultures - Resource lookup failed - infinite recursion detected.

[Nays]

Hi All

I would be very grateful for any help with a problem I am having with
Custom Cultures.

I need to change the date format of a specific culture. I have created
a custom culture that should change the format. But when I run it, it
gives me an [Resource lookup failed - infinite recursion detected.
Resource name: Argument_Adding Duplicate__] error.

My CustomCulture.c s looks like this:

public class CustomCultureIn fo : CultureInfo
{
private string myDescription;
private string myName;
private string myParent;

public CustomCultureIn fo(string parent, string customName) :
base(parent)
{
myParent = parent;
myName = String.Format(" {0}-{1}", parent, customName);
myDescription = String.Format(" Custom Culture ({0})", myName);

DateTimeFormatI nfo dtfi =
(DateTimeFormat Info)base.DateT imeFormat.Clone ();

dtfi.DayNames = new string[]{"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday",
"Wednesday" , "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"} ;

base.DateTimeFo rmat = dtfi;
}
}

And I call it like so from Global.asax:

Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture = new CustomCultureIn fo("ar-ae",
"ang");

When I run it, I get an exception like this:

[ArgumentExcepti on: [Resource lookup failed - infinite recursion

Can anyone help? It would make my day.

Cheers!
