Question

Answer 1

Setting the culture for the thread only works for code executed after that line. Also a request can be handled by different threads in different stages, so you would need to repeat that line after each point where a thread switch is possible.

To set the culture globally you can specify the culture in the system.web section in web.config :

<globalization culture="sv-SE" uiCulture="sv-SE" />
