does the ASP VBscript setLocale function work?
I am a little confused about what the VBScript setLocale function does in ASP.
I'm changing the locale from 1033 (US english) to 3081 (Aust English) which should change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy Session.LCID changes what is returned from getLocale as does setLocale. But only the session.LCID actually change what the date output looks like! Here is some code: Code:
<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> setLocale(1033): <%= setLocale(1033) %><br> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> setLocale(3081): <%= setLocale(3081) %><br> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> </body> </html> getLocale(): 3081 now() 25/02/2003 12:10:02 PM setLocale(1033): 3081 getLocale(): 1033 now() 25/02/2003 12:10:02 PM setLocale(3081): 1033 getLocale(): 3081 now() 25/02/2003 12:10:02 PM Here is the work around and output that I would expect from the above! Code:
<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> Session.LCID = 1033: <% Session.LCID = 1033 %><br> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> Session.LCID = 3081: <% Session.LCID = 3081 %><br> getLocale(): <%= getLocale() %><br> now() <%= now() %><br> </body> </html> getLocale(): 3081 now() 25/02/2003 12:11:10 PM Session.LCID = 1033: getLocale(): 1033 now() 2/25/2003 12:11:10 PM Session.LCID = 3081: getLocale(): 3081 now() 25/02/2003 12:11:10 PM Can anybody verify my results or explain why this happens? I'm using IIS5 on Windows2000. My Os locale is 3081

Am I confusing everone?
Here is my question in English. If in ASP using the VBScript function setLocale function and the the getlocale function, the locale returned from the getlocale function is what you set it to with the setlocale function. ie. Code:
setlocale(3081) response.write getLocale will return 3081 But if your system locale is 1033 (US english) and you do a response.write Now() the date will be returned in the format mm/dd/yyyy. This is not correct not for the locale 3081 (Aust English) which we set it too, it should appear as dd/mm/yyyy But if I use Session.LCID = 3081 and response.write now the date will appear in the format dd/mm/yyyy and getLocale will also return 3081, the same return value as for when we called the setlocale function and then getLocale. Why doesn't setLocale change the output of the now function and why does it appear to do nothing to the locale except make you think it has changed when it hasn't! Is this a Bug in IIS5?

1.) Do you have the default system locale set to what you want, within the web servers regional settings
2.) Try <%@Language="VBScript" LCID="xxxx"%> It's rather crap, as you've found out. I found on an NT web server that I had check the box in the regional settings to make the locale the default in order to make it work how I wanted.......
