Globlization

Question

User336489426 posted

Hello everyone,

I have globalization set in web.config as follows

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-IN" uiCulture="en-US"/>

It works fine under local IIS but it reposts as error saying "The <globalization> tag contains an invalid value for the 'culture' attribute." 

Please help me regarding this. Is it IIS version problem. I ran it on local IIS 7.0 but on the default domain I think it is IIS 6.0 If this is the case then how I can convert the same to be usable under IIS 7.0

Thank you all.

Hello, thanks for help but problem still persists. When I use same value for culture and uiculture then it shows an error saying that The <globalization> tag contains an invalid value for the 'culture' attribute.

My globalization declaration is

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-IN" uiCulture="en-IN"/>

I changed the values for both attributes from en-IN to en-US then it is working fine, but I wanna use en-IN , so please tell me what is issue and how I can resolve it, on the local server it is working fine but on the remote server it is causing error.

Thank you.

Can you please let us know that for which language you want to set culture?

Because we can set culture = "en-US" for English, culture ="de-DE" for German, culture ="it-IT" for Italian etc.

I hope now its clear to you.

Hi, but it was working under local server. If such culture is not there then why it did not raise any error when I was running site under local server and default web server that ships with Visual Studio.

If there is any other solution to this please tell me that. I wanna show price in Indian rupees where price is followed by Rs. not by the $ sign.

Thank you

hello guys,

please help me regarding this culture en-IN, alternatively how I format the price string so it shows the Rs. in front of the price. eg. Rs. 500 even when I just store 500 in the database. So please help me regarding this.

I am using following code to format the string but without en-IN culture it will show $ in front of price eg. $500 , so please tell me that how I should format it so that it shows Rs.

<asp:BoundField DataField="Price" HeaderText="Price" HtmlEncode="false" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="Price"
      DataFormatString="{0:c}">

thank you guys.

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
        Dim objCultureInfo As New CultureInfo("en-IN")
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCultureInfo

        Dim objDateTimeFormatInfo As DateTimeFormatInfo = objCultureInfo.DateTimeFormat
        objDateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yy"
        objDateTimeFormatInfo.LongDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
        objCultureInfo.DateTimeFormat = objDateTimeFormatInfo
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ","
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = "."
