  Here you are specifying that the assembly's default language is French.

  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr")
  Here you are specifying that the current thread's culture is French.

  The end result is the same, really.  In the second example, if you set your CurrentUICulture to the default language (I think that's right) after setting it to French, it would change back to whatever the default language is for the assembly (usually English... silly Americans). 

  In the first example, however, you've overriden the default language and said that it should be French.

  No!

  <Assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("fr", UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.Satellite)>

  only deals with the default. If a user's culture is not supported it would default to French and not invariant.

  The other statement deals with the current culture. CURRENT IS NOT DEFAULT.
