Hi all,

I would like to create a web app available in English, and Spanish.
I started out by trying to get the correct format of the date in case that the language
settings in the browser are set to Spanish, and for that I am capturing it
inside the InitializeCulture(), i.e.:

protected override void InitializeCulture()

{

languages = Request.UserLanguages;

if (languages != null)

{

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =

CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(languages[0]);

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(languages[0]);


}

base.InitializeCulture();

}

However, when I use the AJAX calendar extender control, it renders the calendar in

English, and places the picked date into the designated textbox in US-EN default

format. Is there any way to make it render, and display in the captured culture?

Thanks!

Try to set the ScriptManager.EnableScriptGlobalization to True. Plus
take a look at the following article, where you can see more
