Why this code line doens't work?

[Shapper]

Hello,

I have the following code in the Global.asax:

Sub Session_Start(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")
End Sub

The Error I get: "Name 'Thread' is not declared."

However when I have this in my aspx code it works:

Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("pt-PT")
End Sub

Why?
Can't I set the culture in the Global.asax?

Thank You,
Miguel

Did you Import the System.Threading class? Or use the full name,
System.Threading.Thread.

My first guess would be that you are missing the namespace of this "Thread"
class or use the complete namespace reference while using "Thread"

Thread class is in System.Threading

Ah,

I just found out. I forgot the dam line in Global.asax:
<%@ import Namespace="System.Threading" %>

I had it on my ASPX page. I didn't even notice.

Sorry for the time.

Thanks,
Miguel
