changing Culturinfo on buttonclick

[Guest]

Hi,


I have this asp.net application in which the user can choose between three
possible languages. NL - FR - EN

How can I set the System.Globalization.CultureInfo to three different
values, just by clicking a button?
in a pageLoad i have something like this:
switch(vLang){
case "NL":
System.IFormatProvider format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-BE", true);
break;
case "FR":
System.IFormatProvider format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-BE", true);
break;
case "EN":
System.IFormatProvider format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-Us", true);
break;
}
but I get errors

anyone a Clue ?
thx

"but I get errors".....

What is the error?

 

[Guest]

that the variable 'format' is already known...
which in a switch - case construction seems illogic..

is the error happening IN the switch or when you try to use the "format"?
run it through the debugger and see where, specifically, it's bombing. Try
declaring "format" outside the switch, but assigning it within it.

You are defining it in every case. You should do it once before switch and
then just refer to it:

System.IFormatProvider format;
switch(vLang){
case "NL":
format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-BE", true);
break;
case "FR":
format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-BE", true);
break;
case "EN":
format = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-Us", true);
break;
}

Now, it makes sense to make a radio button list for the language selection
and to check wich option is selected in the switch statement.
