Obtaining Culture Info ???

[cmrchs]

Hi,

I try to obtain the current culture of a server by executing :

string str = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString();

Executing this in a console-applicastion results in the correct string (e.g. "en-AU")
but when executing in ASP.NET does the command always return "en-US" ???

How come ?
How can I make sure it does return the correct cultureInfo ?

thanks
Chris

Chris,

This command gives the culture on the running computer what is your server.

The language and other information of your client you can you find using the
so named server variables.

I was as well not able yet to get the used culture back, however hope as
well that somebody shows how to do that.

I suspect the account under which ASP.NET is running really is running
as en-US. Changing the default locale for the whole system may change
this (as opposed to the one for an individual user). Not sure though...
