Update a built-in culture with CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder?
I am attempting to change the built in .Net culture fr-CA, using the followin
method
//// Cod
CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder cib = new CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder("fr-CA"
CultureAndRegionModifiers.Replacement)
cib.NumberFormat.CurrencyGroupSeparator = ","
cib.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = "."
cib.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ","
cib.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = "."
cib.Register()
//////
However, the Register() call fails with "System.InvalidOperationException
The 'Register' method failed because the custom culture 'fr-CA' alread
exists.
Is it possible to update the built-in culture? According to the doc
(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ninfobuilder.cultureandregioninfobuilder.aspx)
it looks like I can just update it, though I might be reading that wrong
This is running on .Net 3.5 on Server 2008 -- process is running wit
adminstrative privledges.
Hi,The CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder class is used to define a custom culture
Hi
The CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder class is used to define a custom cultur
that is new or based on another culture and country/region
The fr-CA is an already known culture so you do not have to register it
One thing I do not quite get it is - when you say "attempting to change th
built in .Net culture", what exactly do you mean by "built in" here
Could you please explain what do you want to do with more details so I ca
give more specific suggestions
Anyway, if you mean the running application's default culture, then you ca
set it via the Thread.CurrentCulture & Thread.CurrentUICulture properties
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-CA")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-CA")
The CurrentUICulture affects how Resource Manager looks up culture-specifi
resources at runtime
The CurrentCulture affects the culture-specific behavior of methods lik
String.Format or Compare

By "built-in", I mean pre-exisiting culture.
By "built-in", I mean pre-exisiting culture. So, is it possible to change
the exisiting culture fr-CA?
We unfortunatly have some hard coded usage of "fr-CA", but would like to
change the currency/number formats (from 123 456,00 to 123,456.00), without
creating a custom culture.
Is it possible to do that?

more info -- this is basically what I am trying to do (they are using en-GB,
but it is the same case as mine):
"The CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder constructor accepts two parameters: the
custom culture name and an enumeration identifying what kind of custom
culture the new culture is. The replacement culture is registered using the
Register method. Once registered, all .NET Framework 2.0 applications on this
machine will use the modified en-GB culture instead of the original, without
any change to those applications."

Hi,Thanks for the clarification.
Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. Now I know why you are getting this
InvalidOperationException.
When you call cib.Register the first time, if it succeeded, your custom
culture information is already persisted in the %WINDIR%\Globalization
folder as a file. The following call of the Register method trying to
register the same custom culture will fail because the file already exists.
The solution to this problem depends on your application logic.
Option 1: You can either choose to ignore the InvalidOperationException if
the custom culture already exists, but this does not guarantee the existing
custom culture has the same setting as you wanted.
Option 2: Or you can call CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.Unregister("fr-CA");
before start registering your custom culture, and ignore errors if there is
not already such a custom culture to unregister.
Option 3: Another safer way is to first check current settings of fr-CA, if
it does not meet your settings, then do option 2.
Here is the sample code:
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("fr-CA");
// first check if the settings are match
if (ci.NumberFormat.CurrencyGroupSeparator != "," ||
ci.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator != "." ||
ci.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator != "," ||
ci.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator != ".")
{
try
{
// if not match, try delete existing custom culture.
CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.Unregister("fr-CA");
}
catch
{
// ignore or process exception, your call
}
// start register the custom culture
CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder cib = new
CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder("fr-CA", CultureAndRegionModifiers.Replacement);
cib.NumberFormat.CurrencyGroupSeparator = ",";
cib.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ".";
cib.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ",";
cib.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ".";
cib.Register();
}
// test the custom culture.
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(new CultureInfo("fr-CA"), "{0:C}",
10000.1231F));
If you have any further questions, please kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Jie Wang
