Name
LCID
Synopsis
Integer = Session.LCID Session.LCID = Integer
Returns or sets an Integer containing the locale identifier for the session. The locale identifier determines how information such as date/time values is formatted.
Parameters
-
Integer
An Integer variable that will receive or set the LCID property value.
Example
The example displays the current LCID value and displays the current date and time formatted based on the current LCID. It then changes the LCID to the value for French, displays the LCID value, and displays the current date and time again, this time formatted based on the new LCID:
Sub Page_Load( ) Message.Text = "Current locale ID is: " & Session.LCID & "</br>" Message.Text &= "Current date and time is: " & DateTime.Now( ) & "</br>" Session.LCID = 1036 'France Message.Text &= "Current locale ID is: " & Session.LCID & "</br>" Message.Text &= "Current date and time is: " & DateTime.Now( ) & "</br>" End Sub
Notes
The LCID property is provided for backward compatibility with classic ASP. For new ASP.NET development, you should use the System.Threading.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.LCID property instead. ASP.NET stores and retrieves the Session.LCID property in System.Threading.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.LCID.
