ASP.NET FTP Tool - CultureInfo
The beta testing of the ASP.NET FTP Deployment Tool continues with mostly success stories being reported. I did have an interesting report this morning from someone running with their machine's culture set to "Dutch". The application failed almost immediately as a result of a DateTime.Parse assuming US-eng. The individual reporting the problem let me know that this was a common issue with software that is downloaded.
I have to admit that I didn't even consider CultureInfo in this WinForm application, although I've dealt with some internationalization issues in web applications. One more issue to consider when using the Internet to distribute our thoughts, ideas and products.
