  I’ writing a desktop application using C1Flexgrid. The application crashes when being deployed in other cultures, where they use decimals instead of commas, or both in numerical formatting. How can I ensure the application adapts to other regions without breaking? Thanks!

  Hello,

  It may be possible that in some part or in control the culture is not applied, like in ValueConverters we can set specific Culture.

  Could you please provide the StackTrace, that will be helpful.

  Thanks for the reply. I know that the culture is not being applied, that’s my problem and my question. How CAN the culture be applied? It is not possible to get a stackTrace as this is on a customer’s computer in a different country, culture.

  Hello,

  You can set culture on a specific control content, for e.x., you can set culture on content of a Label control as:

  
  double value = 20.5;
  CultureInfo deCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
  lbl.Content = value.ToString("N2", deCulture);
  
  

  Or you can also change the Culture for whole application by putting the below code in MainWindow’s constructor :

  
  CultureInfo deCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = deCulture ;
  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = deCulture;
  
  

  JFYI, The CurrentUICulture is relevant if your application supports multiple languages.
