Response.LCID

The LCID property specifies how dates, times, and currencies are formatted. Locale identifiers (LCIDs) are not the same for each geographical locale. Some locales format dates as YY-MM-DD, and some format dates as MM-DD-YYYY. The LCID property is read/write.

note Note  The locale group has to be installed on the Web server before its locale identifier can be specified in a Web page or application. Use the Regional and Language Options control panel application to install locale groups.

Syntax

Response.lcid [= LocaleID ]

Parameters

LocaleID
An integer representing the geographical locale. You can find locale-specific codepage information on MSDN Library.

Remarks

Setting Response.LCID explicitly affects a single page, whereas setting Session.LCID affects all responses in a session.

If Response.LCID is not explicitly set on a page, it is implicitly set by Session.LCID, if sessions are enabled. If sessions are not enabled, Response.LCID is set by @LCID, if @LCID is present on the page. If there is no @LCID on the page, Response.LCID is set by the AspLCID metabase property. If the AspLCID property is not set, or set to 0, Response.LCID is set by the default system locale.

Response.LCID can be set multiple times in one Web page and used to format data each time. Some locales need the matching codepage to be set to display characters properly. For example, to display dates and times in several locales on one page, the codepage must be set to UTF-8 (65001) to show all the characters.

If you set Response.LCID or Session.LCID explicitly, do so before displaying formatted output. Setting Response.LCID changes the locale for both the ASP application and the scripting engine. Using the VBScript function setLocale() only changes the locale for the scripting engine.

If the locale of your Web page matches the system defaults of the Web client, you do not need to set a locale in your Web page. However, setting the value is recommended.

If the locale is set in a page, and the codepage is set to display the characters properly, Response.Charset should also be set. The codepage value tells IIS how to encode the data when building the response, and the Charset value specifies to the browser how to decode the data when displaying the response. The CharsetName of Response.Charset must match the codepage value, or mixed characters are displayed in the browser. For more information, see the lists of CharsetNames and matching codepage values on MSDN Web Workshop under the columns for Preferred Charset Label and FamilyCodePage.

If you are writing and testing Web pages that use different locales, codepages, and character sets (for example, if you were creating a multilingual Web site), remember that your test client computer must have the language packs installed for each language you want to display. You can install language packs from Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel.

Example

The following example displays the date, time, amount of money, and a decimal value in different locales. The codepage is set to UTF-8 to display all the characters properly.

--- Response_LCID.asp ---

<%

' This file does not need @LCID or @CODEPAGE and

'  it does not need to be saved in UTF-8 format because 

'  there are no literal strings that need formatting or encoding.



Response.Codepage =index.html 65001

Response.Charset = "utf-8"



' See what happens when you uncomment the lines below.

'Response.Codepage = 1252

'Response.Charset = "windows-1252"

ShowDateTimeCurrency 1025, "Saudi Arabia"

ShowDateTimeCurrency 1081, "India"

ShowDateTimeCurrency 2052, "China"

Sub ShowDateTimeCurrency(iLCID, sLocale)

  Response.LCID = iLCID

  Response.Write "<B>" & sLocale & "</B><BR>"

  Response.Write FormatDateTime(Date, 1) & "<BR>"

  Response.Write FormatDateTime(Time, 3) & "<BR>"

  Response.Write FormatCurrency(1000) & "<BR>"

  Response.Write FormatNumber(50, 3, 0, 0, -1) & " & " & FormatNumber(.02, 3, 0, 0, -1) & "<BR><BR>"

End Sub
