Thread.CurrentCulture refers to client or server

Where does Thread.CurrentCulture gets it's data from? Client (browser) or server.

And another question, is this the right w开发者_JAVA百科ay to find out the culture of the user?

Thanks

Thread.CurrentCulture gets the info for the executing thread. ASP.NET code is running on the server; hence, this will give you the current culture of the server thread.

To find the client accepted languages, use HttpRequest.UserLanguages instead.

I assume you mean in an ASP.NET environment? Normally the server culture is returned.

Maybe you can use this article on Auto-Culture Handling in ASP.NET (depending on browser languages): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163849.aspx
