  Asp.net Mvc 2.0 RC Setting Thread CurrentCulture/Ui

  Feb 02, 2010 03:59 PM|LINK

  I been pulling my hair out all day.  
  
  i can't seem to set the current thread cultureui or culture to anything other than English. In the controller i have
  
   

  protected override void Initialize(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext)
              {
                  base.Initialize(requestContext);
                          
  
                  CultureInfo cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR");
      
  
                  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
                  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
              }

  
  
  
  in my view i have
  
      <%= Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.EnglishName%>  
  
  the thread seems to be fine but as soon as the view renders some how its back to english!!
  
  I know its a RC, so is it broken or am I missing something ??
  
  cheers

  I have MVC2 ... I followed your steps, but ...In the view and in the controller it gives me French(France)

  DO you have some settings in Web.Config ?

  Try setting the culture from within Application_BeginRequest() (in Global.asax) rather than from within the Controller.

  Got it working.Bizarrely i just created a new project and started again and it all works fine. All the different ways people have suggested worked in the new project. I have yet to find out what the difference is between the 2 projects.

  I had the same problem and I lost some hours for this issue.

  I was overriding the Initialize method of the Controller and I was setting the culture of the current thread. This approach is not enough!! It seems that the ViewPage changes the culture again.

  The problem ist the directive of ViewPage => Culture="auto" UICulture="auto". If you remove them than it works!!!

  Anyway my approach and suggestion is:

  -override InitializeCulture of ViewPage
  

  protected override void InitializeCulture()
          {
              base.InitializeCulture();
              CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("it"); //set culture you want
              System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
              System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
          }

  -override Initialize of the Controller
  

   protected override void Initialize(RequestContext requestContext)
          {
              base.Initialize(requestContext); 
              CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("it");
              System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
              System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
          }

  I hope it helps.

  Bye
