Hi All

DateTime populaing based on regional settings In ASP.NET Application

Iam using this Code:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(HttpContext.Curr ent.Request.UserLanguages[0]);

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new
CultureInfo(HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLangua ges[0]);

Some Cultures disply the Format
When i am using Windows XP Mechine It's Giving Error Message Like this.
Culture name "zu" is not supported. Parameter name: name

These are the New Cultures for which the following error Message is thrown.
Culture name "zu" is not supported. Parameter name: name
Zulu - zu

Maltese
Xhosa xh
Welsh - cy-gb

Quechua(Peru)-qu-pe
Quechua(Peru)-qu-pe
Northenrn sotho -ns-za
Maori

Kyrgyz(cyrillic)
Croatian - hr-ba

Karunakararao,

I don't think that using the languages to get the current culture is a
good idea. There might be some overlap, but in the end, I don't think it
will work, especially for getting the timezone that the user is in. For
example, consider the United States. You could figure out that English is
the language that is being returned ("en-US" I think), but which time zone
would you use? There are three that are used for the mainland. Throw in
Hawaii and Alaska, and there are more.

You are better off having the user indicate what region they are in, and
then base your time calculations based on that.

Hope this helps.
