Working with Culture Information

Microsoft .NET provides support for working with culture specific information using the CultureInfo class in the System.Globalization namespace.  Culture information can be set both at the page level as well as at the application level.

To set the Culture information at the page levels use the following in the Page directive of the ASP.NET page.

Listing 1

<%@ Page language="C#" Culture="fr-FR"%>

This statement in listing 1 would ensure that the culture information is applicable only for this particular page in the application.

To set the Culture information at the application level, use the following in the Globalization section of the web.config file.

Listing 2

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <globalization
       culture="en-GB"
    />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

This specification as shown in listing 2 in the web.config file would ensure that the culture information is applicable throughout the application.

Hi,
thank you very much for your article!
I have always been looking around for a standardized way of localizing db-entries. For instance if I run a web-shop which must be available to german and english customers my descriptions of my articles must be in german and english.
Of course this has to be stored in a DB and not in embedded resources.
