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" forUK
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();
}
