Culture name 'xxxx' is not supported

[Tomas Vera]

Hello All,
In an effort to prepare my WebApp for localization, I have included the
following lines in some of my ASPX pages (the "lab mice" of my web app).

--- Code snippet -----
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Set up the localization
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages[0]);

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new
CultureInfo(Request.UserLanguages[0]);

LocRM= new ResourceManager("TapeWareCommerce2002.registration.regStrings",
typeof(activateprofile).Assembly);


Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages[0]);

--- En dof snippet -----


But two users have received the following error:
"Culture name rs1_8414fa49133;q=0.0 is not supported. Parameter name: name"
(full stack trace at bottom).

Is there a better way to implement the CreateSpecificCulture() call?

TIA,
-tomas

Hi Tomas,

The name of the culture you pass to the CreateSpecificCulture seems to be
invalid. Valid culture names look like:

en-US
en-GB
ru-RU

and it is unlikely that "rs1_8414fa49133;q=0.0" is a culture name. You might
check with the docs what the UserLanguages property actually returns.
