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

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(wanted         


        

Answer 1

I know the topic is old but I found myself in a "thread with OS culture" problem.

I solved it so: as the BackgroundWorker is in a UserControl (it would be valid if it is in a Form and so on...) I set a field in the UserControl (or Form) when it is constructed. In the DoWork event handler I use this field in my operations. Here the code:

    /// 

    /// Culture in which the GUI creates the control.
    /// 
    private readonly CultureInfo _currentCulture;

    /// 

    ///     Default constructor.
    /// 
    public MyControl()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        _currentCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture;
    }

    private void backgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
    {
        ExampleClass.DoCultureDependentOperation(_currentCulture);
    }
