Change system's locale in .net?

I know how to do this via Win32 API's, but curious about how to do it in
..net. Is there a way in the framework to change the system's locale?

Thanks,

Of course I meant the system's locale, not the current thread - I already
know how to do this. Right now I am just calling the API's, but would rather
have my code 100% in the CLR.

Hi, I have generated resource files for a different language and generated a satellite assembly for it, signed it and placed it in the GAC. When I change the UI culture within the code the application displays the correct form for the culture. However when I simply change the language and locale settings in the control panel it doesn't pick it up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I am puzzled by the following and seeking some assistance to help me understand what happened. I have very limited encoding knowledge. Our SAP system writes out a text file which includes German characters. 1. When I use StreamReader(System.String filepath) without specifying an encoding method, the German characters such as Ä are lost when I do a ReadLine()

Hi. I have just seen that csv module, more exactly the Dialect class, does not have any variable to specify the "floating point" character! In portuguese this is ','. Not '.'. 3.1415 -3,1415. I think this is also the case of other languages/countries. If I am correct, i.e. if there is no such possibility, where can I file a request for a csv change? Excel, for example, automatically converts '.' to ',' and the separator from ',' to ';'.

This works fine but it's just one form, I need to change the language of all the menues in an application, so...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
