Setting current culture with threads in ASP.NET MVC
- by mare
Here's an example of SetCulture attribute which inside does something like this:
public void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext
filterContext)
{
string cultureCode = SetCurrentLanguage(filterContext);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cultureCode)) return;
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(
new HttpCookie("Culture", cultureCode)
{
HttpOnly = true,
Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100)
}
);
filterContext.HttpContext.Session["Culture"] = cultureCode;
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo(cultureCode);
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
culture;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =
culture;
}
I was wondering how does this affect a site with multiple users logged on and each one setting their own culture? What is the scope of a thread here with regards to the IIS worker process (w3wp) that the site is running in?
