Thread.CurrentCulture

It seems that Thread.CurrentCulture does not exist on compact framework 2.
Is there any other way I can set it?

I need to set the date format + currency sign.


Thanks

Pete

That's right, it's not available. You can set date format and currency sign
in device locale properties or use specific formats explicitly.

Hi

You can set date format and currency sign in device locale properties or
use specific formats explicitly.

I don't want to have specific formats everywhere in my app. For example I
want to display a decimal value as currency

value.ToString("C");

which displays "$0.00" whereas I want "£0.00".

I also don't want to have to manually configure every PPC that needs to go
out with my software on (about 500 of them). Is there a DllImport or
something from which I can set the locale properties?


Thanks

Pete

It's generally a bad idea to do that (e.g. in case you sell your application
to different country). But it can be done:

There's no per-thread Culture in the Compact Framework.
Use System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture instead.
