I have the following resource files in a VB .NET project "RESproj":
spjeRes.da.resx
spjeRes.de.resx
spjeRes.resx

The resource project is installed on a Web Server: MESSRV01.

I expect the following code to get either the Danish ("da") or the German
("de") localization from this resource project if run on a PC with regional
settings set to Danish/Denmark respectively German/Germany and otherwise fall
back to the localization in "spjeRes.resx" (which is english)

..
..
Dim ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo =
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re
Dim rm As System.Resources.ResourceManager
Dim assemb As System.Reflection.Assembly
Dim s As String


assemb =
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("http://MESSRV01/SmartLoader/OLV/RESproj.dll")
rm = New System.Resources.ResourceManager("RESproj.spjeRes" , assemb)

Try
s = rm.GetString("House", ci)
MsgBox(s)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
..
..


This functions well when run on one Client PC but NOT on another.
The other Client PC falls back to the localization in "spjeRes.resx"
regardless of the regional settings of this client.

What possible causes exists for this behavior?

First, it appears as though you are attempting to load resources based on
the CurrentCulture property (used for data formatting) rather than
CurrentUICulture (used for resources). This is the first change I would
recommend. Second, you'll probably want to base both the culture and
resource selection based on the client computer's browser accept language
instead of the user locale setting:

' Setting CurrentCulture to specific culture, based on browser accept
language
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re =
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCul ture(Request.UserLanguages
(0))

' Setting CurrentUICulture to specific culture, based on browser accept
language
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICul ture = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Request.UserLangu ages(0))

Thanks for the response

I tried your recomandation regarding the use of CurrentUICulture in stead of
CurrentCulture.
The reaction was the same.
But what I really do not understand is why the code piece works on ONE
client and NOT on ANOTHER client.
I made the conclusion that it had to be incorrect settings of the second
client, but what settings influences this behavior?
