Globalization and localization for Calendar Control

I use the the calendar in VB.NET and then the days are displayed in Dutch.
When I run in IE5 , days are in English.
I changed the preferred language in IE, no change.

I do not understand why VB.NET shows the days in the calendar control in
dutch anyway. I set the language option in VB.NET
(Tools/Options/InternationalSe ttings to Same as MS Office. which is English
in my case.
Appreciate any advice where to look for the logic to get this right, i.e. my
development environment in english and. for execution the IE users settings
for the language. Tks.

Eric,

It is so simple, the calandar is (when not overruled with environment
settings in your prorgram) not the language settings of VBNet that is just
the IDE. The globalization is taken from the settings of the used computer,
so when you use as a server an English OS (what is often done in Holland
because of documentation and updates) it will when that is not overruled (in
a lot of ways) use the US notation what is standard in that.

I hope this gives an idea?

Hello, I have never implemented Globalization and Localization before, but I am trying to plan for it before starting to implement it in new application. From what I am finding is that there are a lot of considerations that could save time if planned up front, so anyone found or knows of good resource(s) to look at to save the pain of figuring it out the hard way? Books, whitepapers, samples, or articles. Thanks

Hello sirs, In my business layer classes I need to throw exceptions with error messages that will be caught by the web pages and shown to the user. Is there any way to enable globalization/localization for these messages with ASP.NET 2.0? Or the built-in mechanism only works for resources in the web pages? Thanks.

Hi All Is there any easy way to validate if my current code base fully support Localization + Globalization? 1. Any tool to scan all my code base files (aspx. cs,...) and identify if there are any hard-coded messages, which needs to be localized 2. The Text/Value property for ASP UI Controls are read from Resource file rather than hard-coded

Hi, Could anyone provide any suggestions on how to implement localization features for a multilingual website. Before you jump the guns, let me define the site structure a little more. We have a global site and around 40 country sites. Each of these country sites have localised information both in the native language (fr,de,de-at,it,ar,ar-ae etc). Also, each of these local country sites would have an english counterpart (fr-en,de-en etc)....

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,...
