I woudl like to set the culture for my whole application. I tried the following :

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(wanted         


        

Answer 1

Simply put; Don't do it.

Don't do any culture specific formatting on any other thread than the main thread (Thread.CurrentThread). Getting the correct culture on other threads - every other thread created - is just a pain and sooner or later you will forget to set it correctly. Better to just avoid the pain all together and only do culture specific formatting, converting, etc, on the thread that you're guaranteed to be on the correct culture settings.
