How to change the current thread current culture at run time.

[Manu]

I have created a new culture :
Dim objCulture As New CultureInfo("he") //hebrew

When I tried to assign it to the current thread.

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = objCulture
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCulture


This Caused an exception :
" Culture "he" is a neutral culture. It can not be used in
formatting and parsing and therefore cannot be set as the
thread's current culture. "


what is the problem ?

Hi,

The right way to set neutral culture is by using CreateSpecificCulture
static function :

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("he");

Neutral cultures are cultures that just the language set, without the
location.
