An ASP.NET HttpModule to set the current culture to the user’s locale

My web application needs to display user information depend on its default culture.

I created an ASP.NET module:

using System; using System.Globalization; using System.Threading; using System.Web; namespace Gold.Translate { public class UserLocaleModule : IHttpModule { public void Init(HttpApplication httpApplication) { httpApplication.BeginRequest += (sender, eventArgs) => { var app = sender as HttpApplication; if (app == null) { throw new ApplicationException("Sender is null or not an HttpApplication"); } var request = app.Context.Request; if (request.UserLanguages == null request.UserLanguages.Length == 0) return; var language = request.UserLanguages[0]; if (language == null) return; try { Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(language); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language); } catch {} }; } public void Dispose() { } } }

Configuration in web.config for classic mode:

<httpModules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <add name="UserLocale" type="Gold.Translate.UserLocaleModule, Gold.Translate" /> </httpModules>

Configuration in web.config for integration mode:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> <add name="UserLocale" type="Gold.Translate.UserLocaleModule, Gold.Translate" /> </modules>

After setup .NET Framework 1.0 on windows 2008. When tring to browse any site, gave me error 500. Unable to load C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll.
