The Session.LCID Property
Introduction
The Session.LCID (Local Identifiers) property can be used to
specify how dates, times and currencies are formatted for a specific location.
The local formats are not the same for each location. For example in Germany the
date is formatted DD.MM.YYYY and in USA you use MM.DD.YYYY. In Germany you use
the € currency sign and in USA you use the $ currency sign. This property only
affects the complete session and not the current page only. If you need to set
this setting for the current page use the Response.LCID property. Here you
can find a list of the Local Identifiers (LCID).
Example
<%
Response.Write
"<b><u>Date/Time/Currency in German
format:</u></b><br/>"
' Set the
the LCID to Germany
Session.LCID
= 1031
' Use the
Format Currency method to print out the currency
' Currency
in Euro/Germany format
Response.Write
FormatCurrency(199)
Response.Write
"<br/>"
' Date and
time in Germany format
Response.Write
FormatDateTime(Time, 1)
Response.Write
"<br/><br/><b><u>Date/Time/Currency in USA
format:</u></b><br/>"
' Set the
the LCID to Germany
Session.LCID
= 1033
' Use the
Format Currency method to print out the currency
