Anders,

using System.Globalization;

CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo("sv-SE"); // Whatever culture you want the
numbers to format as.
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = c;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c;

That should work. Although it seems like you did that already. Perhaps
.NET doesn't recognize the culture sv-SE and defaults to american
format. Try de-DE or something and play around with some other
cultures. See if its culture specific.

if it is you can always override the current number format by going
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.... =
wahtever

ie.
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern
= "M/dd/yyy";

Hope this kinda helps. i would try to have a code sample but i gotta go to
bed!!!

Thanks for the tip, Trevor. German (de-DE) did work. In fact, all cultures I
tried worked. All but Swedish (sv-SE). However, I can get Swedish to work
too. How? Buy changing the current locale in the control panel from Swedish
to something else. Weird, huh? Or do you, or anybody else have a sane
explanation for this behavior?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Help, something is wrong with our project!

We have an ASP.NET VB-project that always formats numbers etc. according to
the "en-US" culture, no matter what we do. Even the following doesn't work:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =3D=20
New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =3D
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
TextBox1.Text =3D Now.ToString

It must be something wrong on project/application level, because if we take
a page that works from another application and includes it in this project
it stops working.

If anybody knows of a setting (or similar) that we might have forgotten, I
would greatly appreciate to be informed thereof.
