We just had some users in Singapore start using an application built with CSLA 3.5 and I am getting a strange error. Here is the error:
DataPortal.Fetch failed (Culture name 'en-sg' is not supported. Parameter name: name)
I know it has something to do with the language settings but can someone help me with why this is happening? How do I get 'en-sg' to be supported? Thanks.
Jonathan
How and where do I build that file? Thanks.
Jonathan
That really shouldn't be the case (the need to create a new resx), because .NET should fall back to using the default resx (US english).
Can you look at the stack trace to see exactly what component is failing?
Is that really a valid culture name? Maybe it is .NET or Windows that simply doesn't recognize that culture string.
Or maybe there's a language pack you need to install at the OS level to enable that culture?
EN-SQ stands for English (Singapore). From what I've found so far, this language only became available with Vista so I cannot install it on my XP box. I have created a resource file for en-sg but when I compile on an XP box it does not create the subfolder and dll. I compiled it on a Vista machine and the subfolder and dll did get created. I am in the process of setting up a Vista machine to use as a build box for this application. I guess I may upgrade to Vista but I'm trying to hold off for now.
I thought it would default back to US English based on other things I've read but it appears it isn't. Any other thoughts or ideas?
I've included the stack trace for the error in case you want to see it.
Thanks for your help.

The exception is coming from .NET, because it can’t set
the culture. I suspected that was the case.
So either .NET or Windows (and I suspect Windows) doesn’t
support that culture. You’ll have to figure out a way for the OS to
support the culture, or stop the data portal from trying to set the culture to
the invalid value.
Unfortunately there’s no hook to do this. The data portal
sets the context before doing anything else, and there’s never been a
need for that to be extensible. This means you’ll probably need to alter
Csla.Server.DataPortal – just change the SetContext() method to look for
a culture of name “en-sg” and replace it with something valid.

Rocky,
So even if I create the resource file it won't fix my problem?
Jonathan
I don’t know – maybe it will. But it appears that
the OS is not accepting the culture value, so I’d be surprised if that fixed
the issue.
