You use the ASP.NET tag: I suspect you are running the application under an identity without its own profile, and it is using the default regional settings stored in the registry under 'HKEY_USERS.Default\Control Panel\International`.

These aren't necessarily the same as the regional settings of an interactive user.

You can do one of two things:

• Add a <globalization> element to your web.config. This is probably the best solution, as it makes your app independent of the regional settings of the hosting server.

• Use Control Panel to set the regional settings you want for the current user and for the default user profile. The exact steps depend on the Windows version you're using.
