You can use the culture setting in web.config like this. xml version ="1.0" encoding ="utf-8" ?> configuration > system.web > -- GLOBALIZATION This section sets the globalization settings of the application. Use culture="en-US" for US Use culture="en-GB" for UK Use culture="en-AU" for AUS -- > globalization requestEncoding ="utf-8" responseEncoding ="utf-8" culture ="en-GB" /> system.web > configuration > Now in the pagebehind you can refer it like below // To get Currency Symbol and Date Format according to the Culture settings CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture; Session["g_CurrencySymbol"] = ci.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol.ToString(); Session["g_CountrySetting"] = ci.Name; if (ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString() == "M/d/yyyy") //US Format { Session["g_DateFormat"] = "MM/dd/yyyy"; } else if (ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString() == "d/MM/yyyy") //Australian Format { Session["g_DateFormat"] = "dd/MM/yyyy"; } else { Session["g_DateFormat"] = ci.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString(); }
