Thread.CurrentCulture

It seems that Thread.CurrentCulture does not exist on compact framework 2.
Is there any other way I can set it?

I need to set the date format + currency sign.


Thanks

That's right, it's not available. You can set date format and currency sign
in device locale properties or use specific formats explicitly.

I don't want to have specific formats everywhere in my app. For example I
want to display a decimal value as currency

value.ToString("C");

which displays "$0.00" whereas I want "£0.00".

I also don't want to have to manually configure every PPC that needs to go
out with my software on (about 500 of them). Is there a DllImport or
something from which I can set the locale properties?


Thanks

It's generally a bad idea to do that (e.g. in case you sell your application
to different country). But it can be done:
