>can u help me to do it dynamically

private void panelthaisubtitle_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

_subtitleCode = "3"; //Thai

this.panelAnotherNew.BackgroundImage = global::UOB_Project.Properties.Resources.another_active;

this.panelEnglishNew.BackgroundImage = global::UOB_Project.Properties.Resources.english;

this.panelChinaNew.BackgroundImage = global::UOB_Project.Properties.Resources.China_Dis;

this.panelBahasaNew.BackgroundImage = global::UOB_Project.Properties.Resources.Bahasa_Dis;

}

DataTable mydt = new DataTable();

//string sub = "select distinct Subtitles from Module_Subtitles where Subtitles not null and Module_ModuleID=" + ModulemastID;

string sub = string.Empty;

//english language

if (_subtitleCode == "1")

sub = "select distinct Subtitles from Module_Subtitles where Subtitles not null and LanguageOrder=1 and Module_ModuleID=" + ModulemastID;

//thai language

else if (_subtitleCode == "2")

sub = "select distinct Subtitles from Module_Subtitles where Subtitles not null and LanguageOrder=2 and Module_ModuleID=" + ModulemastID;

else if (_subtitleCode == "3")

sub = "select distinct Subtitles from Module_Subtitles where Subtitles not null and LanguageOrder=3 and Module_ModuleID=" + ModulemastID;

else if (_subtitleCode == "4")

sub = "select distinct Subtitles from Module_Subtitles where Subtitles not null and LanguageOrder=4 and Module_ModuleID=" + ModulemastID;

SQLiteCommand command1 = new SQLiteCommand();

command1 = connection.CreateCommand();

command1.CommandText = sub;

SQLiteDataAdapter da1 = new SQLiteDataAdapter(command1);

da1.Fill(mydt);

if (mydt.Rows.Count > 0)

{

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.closedCaption.SAMIFileName = NewpathLoc + mydt.Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();

}

else

{

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.closedCaption.SAMIFileName = "";

}

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.stop();

Hi ,

You can implement Globalization by setting the current culture property to thai during runtime as below :

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("th-TH");

or

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("th");

Thanks,
Priyan
