What is the "international" english culture in .NET?

I have a localized application and I want to set English as the default language, but using "international" formats:

I want to set this as a global app setting, I can't work with annotations for this (as seen in other posts), and the solution should not be view-specific.

In other words, I am looking for an "en-INTERNATIONAL" CultureInfo.

Adapted from answer by blackn1ght for WPF (as originally requested)

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
    var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB");

    var numberFormat = new NumberFormatInfo();
    numberFormat.PercentDecimalSeparator = ",";
    numberFormat.PercentGroupSeparator = ".";
    numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ",";
    numberFormat.CurrencyGroupSeparator = ".";
    numberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ",";
    numberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ".";

    culture.NumberFormat = numberFormat;

    Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
    Dispatcher.Thread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
}

Date format dd/MM/yyyy is used in the UK, so en-GB should satisfy that requirement.

I'm not 100% about this so someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this may work:

Global.asax.cs

    protected void Application_BeginRequest()
    {
        var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB");
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;

        var numberFormat = new NumberFormatInfo();
        numberFormat.PercentDecimalSeparator = ",";
        numberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ",";
        numberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ",";
        numberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ".";

        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat = numberFormat;
    }
