global.asax Application_AcquireRequestState vs. Application_BeginRequest

Question

what is the difference? I would like to implement Language dropdown selection in my app. So when a selected language is selected, a Thread culture would be set and page reloaded

Answer 1

Application_BeginRequest occurs earlier in the lifecycle and is the 'usual' place this goes.
