Multilingual website using asp.net

Step 1: in design create a drop down to select the language  and having few field such as name,number,currency and date specific to culture

<pre class="brush: csharp">// "ddlLanguage"

runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" 

            onselectedindexchanged="ddlLanguage_SelectedIndexChanged" 

            meta:resourcekey="ddlLanguageResource1">

        "en-us">English

        "fr-FR">French

        

    Your Current Culture is -"lblCulture" runat="server" Text="Label">
    

    "lblName" runat="server"  Text="Name" meta:resourcekey="lblNameResource1">                   

        "txtName" runat="server" meta:resourcekey="txtRName" Text="TechTT">

        


        


      

    

      

    "lblCurrency" runat="server" Text="Currency" meta:resourcekey="lblCurr">               

    "txtCurrency" runat="server" >

    


    


    "lblNFormat" runat="server" Text="No." meta:resourcekey="lblNumber">                       

    "txtN" runat="server" >

    


    


    "lblCDate" runat="server" Text="Current Date" meta:resourcekey="lblDate">          

    "txtCurrentDate" runat="server">

     

</pre>

      

    

Step 3: in code behind, on selection of language we will convert  the data according to Culture and UICulture

Code on selection change event

UICulture = ddlLanguage.SelectedValue;         Culture = ddlLanguage.SelectedValue;                          Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(ddlLanguage.SelectedValue);         Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture= CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(ddlLanguage.SelectedValue);               //to get the current culture                CultureInfo c = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;                   lblCulture.Text = c.NativeName;         //currentculture UI                lblName.Text = Convert.ToString(this.GetLocalResourceObject("lblNameResource1.Text"));                txtName.Text=Convert.ToString (this.GetLocalResourceObject ("txtRName"));                lblCurrency.Text = Convert.ToString(this.GetLocalResourceObject("lblCurr"));                lblNFormat.Text = Convert.ToString(this.GetLocalResourceObject("lblNumber"));                lblCDate.Text = Convert.ToString(this.GetLocalResourceObject("lblDate"));            //CurrentCulture specific to currency and no. format etc.         double Currency = 500.50;         double noformat = 9580000.75;            txtCurrency.Text = Currency.ToString("c");         txtN.Text = noformat.ToString("n");         txtCurrentDate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString();
