Get the current Regional and Language Setting

Question

_{Wednesday, February 16, 2011 3:51 PM}

Hello

I've got a application that works for my clients in the U.S. however some clients are having issues in German.  I'd like to find out what Regional and Language settings that have. I'd like to create an app that they can run that will create a report of what they have set.  Any idea how to do that?

Thanks

Hello William,

Use the CultureInfo class to get information about the current culture. More details about this can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1542409/how-to-get-current-regional-settings-in-c

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture returns the current CultureInfo.

You can check CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat and CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat properties, for example.

Hi William,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

According to your description of the problem, the issue you are experiencing is how to get current Location (Regional and Language Options). The CultureInfo Provides information which includes the names for the culture, the writing system, the calendar used, and formatting for dates and sort strings. Here is an example about how to get the System's Regional setting, you can refer to it: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharplanguage/thread/e106ab4a-3d64-42b8-a31a-ba946c315a22.

I hope this will help resolve your problem. If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Mio
