CurentCulture set to en-GB but dates are appearing in US format st

[=?Utf-8?B?UGhpbCBKb2huc29u?=]

I am setting the current culture on the current thread in my global.asax.cs
application_sta rt() event as follows:

System.Threadin g.Thread.Curren tThread.Current Culture = new
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo("en-GB");

In my default.aspx.cs I then set the text of a label from a datetime
variable like this:

lblDate.Text = DateTime.Now.To UniversalTime() .ToLongDateStri ng();

But the date is formatted in United States format.

I am hosting on a US host, so I would expect the format to be US without
setting the CurrentCulture, but I am clearly setting that to UK formatting so
I thought the date should be formatted as such.

Do I need to do something differently?

Hi Phillip,

either set the culture in Application_Beg inRequest (instead the
Application_Sta rt)
or use Globalization section in the web.config.

<globalizatio n culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB"...

Thanks for that,

I'm guessing that's because sessions run in a different thread to the
application?

As long as it works though, I'm happy :-)
