.NET Localization - by LOCATION - not by culture

Hello,

I need to do an implimentation which requires installation to be made
per location, not by culture.

Everyting I read refgarding localization is culture specific. How can
I leverage this functionality to install by location instead? (What I
mean is that all computers are in different location, same culture)

Is localization the ideal solution?

Thanks!

Isaac,

When all those location have the same culture (globalization settings) than
there is nothing to change.

I think the closest we can get is to use one of the methodologies
that map an IP to a geographic location noting that method is
'loose' which means the optimal method remains asking via
the user interface.

I am not sure I understand.

Can you describe the functionality you want to achieve?

For instance, you want to be able to install your app. in Germany and
in Germany only, for instance?
I think there is really no way to enforce this.
I can change all my system settings, the IP address is irelevant,
because I am behind a NAT and I use 192.168.1.x, I can have a
U.S. English OS installed in Germany.
 
Thanks, this might be just want I need. I'll post back with results.

Any other ideas out there on this? Would serve as a good thread for
others, i'm sure i'm not the only one.
 
I think Issac means that he has locations that are specific for his
application not geographic locations necesarily. For example he might have
multiple "locations" in the same state or country, but they each have to have
their own specific resources. I suggestted to issac that he inherit from the
CultureInfo class to define these application specific locations.

Maybe this is what he wants. Or maybe nit :-)
But I think that if he wants some help, he may better give us more info.
