Regional Settings Problem

Hi all,

I can't get Visual Studio 2003 to recognize my WindowsXP SP2 regional
settings.
For ex: On Control Panel / Regional Settings / Regional Options Tab, my
standadrs and formats corresponds to English (United States), where for
example, if you see on the Customize secction, the default decimal symbol is
a dot the digit group symbol is a comma.

The problem I have is that VS2003 wont recognize those settings, and is
using comma as Decimal symbol and so on...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Luis Lanuza.

Stupid question on my part...
Are you using System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current UICulture in
stead of CurrentCulture? If you have windows in English, you'll won't see
the regional settings. You need to use
System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture.

HTH,

The change appears to have been introduced sometime before Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and has remained through to Windows XP.

Dear All, I am trying to set a webserver to use French regional settings for testing ASP pages. According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q306044, for IIS5, this is a matter of changing the regional settings for the authenticated user, and if this user does not have a user profile then the default regional settings. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be working in IIS6, in that I have

Where-as C# automatically picks up the regional settings and applies them. For example, the following J# code: public static void main(String args)

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

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
