Did you restart your application after you changed the setting? The CultureInfo is set for the app when it starts, and (luckily) doesn't change while running - even if the user changes it. The new CultureInfo should be displayed after you start your app.

Care to explain a bit? You're fetching the culture of the webserver, not of the connected clients.

Apart from
CurrentCulture, there is alsoCurrentUICulture. Since you're talking about a web site, do not forget to set theCurrentUICultureto the desired value whenever a new thread (!) is started - otherwise your web site will always run in the localization of your web server. E.g.System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE");
Threads get their culture specific settings from the operating system, not from the thread they were started from.

i dontt want to set culture , i want to getculture info. i have done below changes in page load but still its not working. System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE"); string strCluture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name; strCluture returns en-US :(
