  Column of GridView in RowDataBound in german language

  Sep 12, 2014 05:40 AM|cms9651|LINK

  Hi there, I hope in your help.

  I have problem with set language in c# application connected on a MySQL db.

  The server in use is a Windows Server 2003 in english language.

  I need set the output of query in first column of GridView in RowDataBound in german language.

  If try the same solution in c# application the output is only english.

  This is beginning to make me believe my structure as a whole is not correct.

  What am I missing ?

  I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me in working this problem.

  My code below:

      protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
      {
          if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
          {
              if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["Month"]))
              {
                  InitializeCulture();
                  e.Row.Cells[0].Text = string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0:MMMM yyyy}", DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Month"));
              }
          }
      }
  
  
      protected override void InitializeCulture()
      {
          Page.Culture = "de-DE";
          Page.UICulture = "de-DE";
      }

  I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me in working this problem.
  
  Cheers,

  If you only need to output a particular string in a specific format then you don't need to set culture for the page. Just set culture within the String.Format as

  e.Row.Cells[0].Text = string.Format(
           new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE"), 
           "{0:MMMM yyyy}", DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Month"));
  

  If you need to set it per page then see example of InitializeCulture() at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508(v=vs.90).aspx

  To set culture for entire application you could use web.config 

  <globalization uiCulture="de-DE" culture="de-DE" />
