Well yes, since every thread has a culture and a UI culture... and you
do it in precisely the way you've described. The question is, why?
CurrentUICulture is supposed to be used for purposes such as
formatting numbers & dates according to user preferences. A
webservice, by definition, has no UI, and it should certainly never
format anything in its XML response using UICulture!
 
thanks for the insight,
rod.
