Cultue/ Globalization /Region

[Jack Russell]

I am still trying to understand which bit of software does what.

msgbox (color.green.name)

Returns "Green"

If I load .net framework 1.1 for France and set my region to France.

It still returns Green.

If I had a French operating system would it return Vert??

(Feel free to give me answer about any language/ culture/ region as long
as the answer is in English!)

Many thanks

Jack,

For me this is a compiler part and not yet enumerated in Net. framework.
Because that it is done, and I see your message I start to think that it is
not impossible that it is unlucky enough planned for future use.

Luckily it returns at the moment 'green'. For non localy English speaking
developpers it is mostly a hell if they have to use a tool which returns
their native language while the toolbuilders where English (in the
development part). Mainly because the documentation is to late or will even
never be done in their local language.

There are parts that are returned in the language of the local Net version.
Have you ever searched for an error that is given mixed in 2 languages?

This is of course for every language as the tool is *originaly* build in and
can be for the same sake be German.

Just my idea

No. It will AFAIK always return "Green".

Herfried,

I am curious about that, is that as well in your German VS?

I hope so.

Yes, German Windows XP Professional SP2 + German VS.NET.

It is. The values are string literals within the code in System.Drawing.dll.
They are not localized resources.

So what is the difference in the .net regional versions?
Is it just the language used in the setup?

This depends on the version of the .NET Framework you are using.

If you are using .NET Framework 1.1 setup is in English only. In .NET
Framework 2.0 the setup is localized, although no additional language packs
are installed by default. Language packs for .NET Framework 2.0 will be
available in some months.

Herfried,

Surely that is not right, there are a host of setups for .net framework 1.1

I have been testing using the English and French.
I believe that there are different setups for he service pack.

There were localized versions of the .NET Framework 1.1 available, that's
true. I was referring to the (English) "standard" version, which included
English resources only.
