Culture. What am I doing wrong?

[shapper]

Hello,

I am initializing the culture of a page as follows:

protected override void InitializeCultu re() {
base.Initialize Culture();
CultureInfo culture = Profile.Get().V isitor.Culture;
if (culture == null) culture = default(Culture Info);
Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentCu lture = culture;
Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentUI Culture = culture;
}

Basically, my objective is to get the culture from Visitor property in
profile. If it is null then use the default culture in Web.Config:

<globalizatio n
culture="auto:p t-PT"
uiCulture="auto :pt-PT"/>

The problem is that when the culture is null in profile I always get
"en-US".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Your problem is default( CultureInfo ) which gives null. You should use new
CultureInfo("pt-PT"); or better yet:

culture = CultureInfo.Cur rentCulture;
