  Dynamically set culture for date format but keep currency USD

  Jun 27, 2012 02:55 PM|LINK

  OK, I'm successfully changing cultures on the fly, working fine. I needed this for date formatting, but that's ALL I need it for. Unfortunately its also changing currency, which I do NOT want it to do. I need currency to display in USD at all times.

  Here's what I've got, can anyone shed some light on how I keep the currency formatting in USD?

  <div style="color: black; overflow: auto; width: 99.5%;">

   public void SetCulture(string cult)

           {

               if (!String .IsNullOrEmpty(cult))

               {

                   var selectedLanguage = cult;

                   Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo .CreateSpecificCulture(selectedLanguage);

                   Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo (selectedLanguage);

                   var dtfi = (DateTimeFormatInfo )Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.Clone();

                   Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat = dtfi;

                   Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat = dtfi;

               }

           }

  </div>

  OK, I've found a way to set this at the string level:

  .ToString("C2", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"))

  I'll proceed using this unless I find a way to do it where I'm setting the culture
