Hi

Windows Forms are entirely Unicode-enabled, meaning that
each character is represented by a unique number, no
matter what the platform, program, or language.
However, certain controls do not support Unicode in
Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition. These
controls, all of which inherit from the common control,
will process data with the Windows code pages, as ANSI.
These controls are: TabControl, ListView, TreeView,
DateTimePicker, MonthCalendar, TrackBar, ProgressBar,
ImageList, ToolBar, and StatusBar. The result of this is
that you cannot display Unicode data in these controls on
the listed platforms. For example, you cannot display
Japanese characters on an English Windows 98 system.

With all due respect, I don't think he was asking that Ravikanth. I think
Ahmet wanted to now how he can internationalize his application.
Ahmed, you can find internationalization and globalization resources here:

This should provide you with all the info you need.

Hello,

look at the link I posted above. You have to set 2 cultureinfo objects to
your desired language, and then it should work.
