System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax

I opened, converted, and rebuilt an existing class lib in 2005. It compiled without error, but there was a runtime error with the following:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax=2050

Apparently this property is readonly now. Paradigm shift? What to do?

Paradigm shift may be a bit lofty but you are correct Smile - in Whidbey, we've made the default CurrentThread.CurrentCulture read-only.

You can, however, clone a copy, make modifications, and set the CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.

try the following:

CultureInfo newCI = (CultureInfo)System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone();

newCI.Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax = 2050;

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCI;

hope this helps,
