Get System Culture?

[chrisf8657]

Hi guys,

I have to change the application's System culture to US English.
However, when I try to retrieve the system's default numbers culture (which is German), it returns English with the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and other calls.

So, how do I get the real setting for the System and not the app/threads?

Thanks

Try this...

Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Globalization

Public Class Form1

    Dim systemCulture As CultureInfo

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        'store system culture
        'change app culture
        systemCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture()
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture() = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
        MsgBox(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture().Name)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        'restore app culture to system culture
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture() = systemCulture
        MsgBox(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture().Name)
    End Sub

End Class

That's a start.
