<globalization culture="auto:fr" uiCulture="fr"/>

I want to get this value in a new variable programmatically in Code Behind.

var test = .......

How to get value for culture?

Solution Thanks to your Answers:

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/");
GlobalizationSection section = (GlobalizationSection)config.GetSection("system.web/globalization");

OpenWebConfiguration("/"); // Point to Physical path for the Web.Config file (Useful when using Routing).

GetSection("system.web/globalization"); // Get the globalization section within the system.web node.

Answer 1

It's a GlobalizationSection , so you can get at it via

var globalizationSection = 
        WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("globalization") as GlobalizationSection;

Answer 2

You might need to import the System.Configuration and System.Web.Configuration namespaces to do this, but you can do something like this:

//and here is the code to get the section
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/");     
GlobalizationSection section = config.GetSection("globalization") as GlobalizationSection;

Answer 3

Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.globalizationsection.aspx

It looks like you need to include/use System.Web.Configuration.GlobalizationSection

Then .Culture http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.globalizationsection.culture.aspx#Y300
