Where is CurrentCulture retrieved from in C# application

I have an application deployed across several servers

When I display CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name using System.Globalization, some sites display en-GB and some en-US

Where is this setting being picked up from? On a server that displays en-US, the region settings are English (United Kingdom) and the Language preferences have English (United Kingdom) ahead of English (United States)

Many thanks

First of all, it's important to note that the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture is a by thread static property.

Based on the documentation, if there is no user interventions, the original value is retrieved from a call to GetUserDefaultLocaleName (on windows systems).

Possible user interventions are:

  • Set the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture property.
  • Set the CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture property.
