app.config Globalization??

Hi all,

is there any way to tell the program to execute under any given
CultureInfo setting, using the app.config file? Similar to the asp.net
web.config setting <globalization> tag, but for WIndows Forms????

I know how to set the CUltureInfo of the current thread, but have no
idea on how to set it at app.config level

Any ideas?

Put this entry into your app.config file:

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="CultureToUse" value="de-CH" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

And then access it in your main app:

string sCulture = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CultureToUse"];

and create the culture info from it:

CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(sCulture);

and then go on and use it!

Hope this helps
