app.config globalization

Question

web.config allow a globalization tag: This setting will set the globalization for the entire ASP.NET application.

Does this tag work in app.config in standard forms applications too? If yes... where shall it be placed?

Or.. is there another way to set the globalization for the entire forms application. Including dll's and all threads?

To set the Culture to the Main Application use the following snippet code:

Dim newCulture As CultureInfo = new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCulture

Thanks, But is there no way to set it for all threads in the application? – thomas nn Aug 12 '09 at 11:45
I don't think so, however if you are creating the threads in your application you can set the culture for everyone by yourself. – Wael Dalloul Aug 12 '09 at 12:05
