Culture Info

[Amit Kumar G]

I am developing an home page which can be access from 5 countries. Based on user location (which i don't know it could be Country A, B, C , D or E) i need to change home page accordingly. By default we will have country A. My boss says try to explore culture...but i have no idea for the same...Could you please show some directon.... Thanks Thanks

You can create a CultureInfo object from a culture identifier or culture name. Example: CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); You just have to find out what culture the user preferres. The Accept-Language header in the HTTP headers might be one way to find this out. You use the CultureInfo object whenever you format any data that is culture dependant, for example in the string.Format or double.ToString methods. Example: labelPrice.Text = price.ToString("C2", culture);

Yes, of course. You are showing the culture that the server is using.
