Get current culture in MVC 3 application

Question

I'm trying to create a small app that contains errormessages in database, so they'll be easy to edit etc from a webpage.

So my question is what do I need to put in my class, the "...typeof(MyCustomErrorApp)" to get the current culture? What needs to be derived (?) from etc?

Answer 1

I assume you are talking about validation attributes - those are loading resources from static class using reflection. You can simply target any class with static properties:

public class DBErrorResources
{
    public static string Required
    {
        get { return DB.FetchErrorMesssage(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture); }
    }
}

Answer 2

The ASP.NET resource provider is extensible. So you could write your custom ResourceProviderFactory.
