How do I change the culture settings of my aspx document written in vb.net
to UK English.

Thanks,
 
set the thread's CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture to en-GB:

CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); //creates a CultureInfo instance
for British English
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = c; //Will
automatically format dates and such
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c; //Used by the
ResourceManager to get the correct XML File

if you are creating a multilingual application, check out:

it isn't much different:

Dim c as new CultureInfo("en-GB")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = c
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c


CultureInfo is found in System.Globalization.

I get the following error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30188: Declaration expected.

Source Error:


Line 12:
Line 13: Dim c as new CultureInfo("en-GB")
Line 14: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = c
Line 15: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c
Line 16: I have included the system.Globalization namespace.

Can you help?

I found an easier way is just to do this:

<%@ Page Language="VB" Culture="en-GB" %>

This changes the date validation to English format d/m/yyyy

Thanks,
