CurrentCulture vs CurrentUICulture: controls

Question

I know that the CurrentCulture is for controlling Currency and Date formatting

I also know that CurrentUICulture is for controlling text (which resource file to read).

However, I note that when setting the CurrentCulture to (say) nl-NL (Dutch) and the CurrentUICulture to (say) en-GB (British English), a Calendar control will be displayed with the days of the week as "ma, di, wo, do, vr, za, zo". [Tested using ASP.NET calendar control and WPF]

I guess that this is "by design", but I'm not sure what the benefit is...

Answer 1

This would almost certainly qualify as a bug in the calendar implementation.  You should report it at http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/feedback if it is causing problems for you.
