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/InternationalSettings 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?
