We have a Windows.NET application which uses CultureInfo to set the date
format based on the PC's regional settings. We find that if we change the
regional settings on a PC, unless we re-build the application, it throws an
error when we use the application. How does re-building the application help
to apply the regional settings ?

Hi,

Sounds really strange, as far as I remember Microsoft recommends that
Thread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentUICulture properties are used to
determine current regional settings. Make sure you use these properties in
an appropriate manner (MSDN should have detailed description as well as some
code snippets).

Maybe you could post a code snippet for the problematic piece of code?

No matter what culture I set the regional settings to, the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture always return English, so what good is it? I have been googling for hours trying to find out how to get the current regional settings so that I can set the thread CurrentCulture to match
