Oracle returns datetime format according by browser culture

Question

Oracle returns datetime format according by browser culture that used by client.For instance while retrieving month on sysdate in oracle, if my browser culture is en-US return January, if tr-TR is return Ocak but i want to appear it only Turkish.I applied a couple changes on my code as follow but i am getting error some cases.

DateTime.ParseExact("Ocak", "MMMM", CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture).ToString("MMMM", new CultureInfo("tr-TR"));

I can get error according by above sample.Because CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture and browser culture don't be same.January in not equal each Turkish month value.

Answer 1

You can check your CurrentUICulture which is InvariantCulture (based on en-US) or not like;

if(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture == CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
{
     var month = DateTime.ParseExact("January", "MMMM", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
     Console.WriteLine(month.ToString("MMMM", new CultureInfo("tr-TR"))); //ocak
}
else if(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture == new CultureInfo("tr-TR"))
{
     var month = DateTime.ParseExact("Ocak", "MMMM", new CultureInfo("tr-TR"));
     Console.WriteLine(month); //ocak
}
else
{
     //
}
