  • Check this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508.aspx

  • I will quote what is most important:

  •  

  • To set the UI culture and culture for all pages, add a globalization section to the Web.config file, and then set the uiculture and culture attributes, as shown in the following example:

    <globalization uiCulture="es" culture="es-MX" />
  • 

    

    

    

    

  • 

    To set the UI culture and culture for an individual page, set the Culture and
UICulture attributes of the 
@ Page directive, as shown in the following example:
    

    

    

    

    

    <%@ Page UICulture="es" Culture="es-MX" %>

    

    

    

    

    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    Alternatively, if you want to handle datetime object only, you can use DateTime.Now.ToString("YY-MM-dd") - with any pattern you like.
    

     
    

    Hope it helps...

    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>

    Hi,
    

    In the Web.config file, set the below setting based on your CultureInfo. It will apply to the full application.
    

    

    <system.web>
    
    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>
    
</system.web>

    I want to set culture info for my full application
    

    

    Then set it in web.config in system.web section add this, change culture you want, this will apply this culture on whole application:
    

    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>

    Hi,
    

    In the Web.config file, set the below setting based on your CultureInfo. It will apply to the full application.
    

    

    <system.web>
    
    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>
    
</system.web>

    There are 4 ways of specifying the culture settings for the application. All of them are discussed below.
    

      

    1. Specifying Culture setting at application level - using Web.Config
      
<system.web>
      
    <globalization uiCulture="en-US" culture="en-US"/>
      
</system.web>
    2. Specifying Culture setting at Page Level
      
<%@ Page UICulture="en-US" Culture="en-US" %>
    3. Specifying Culture setting in code-behind (at Page Level)
      

      
    Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
      

      
        System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB")
      

      
        System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-GB")
      

      
    End Sub
      
 Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
      
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")
      
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")
      
End Sub
    4.  Specifying Culture setting at control level - It usually have 2 properties like "Culture" and "UICulture" which can be explicitly set to any value.
    

    Hope, this answers your query.
