Step 4 of 5: Add a Culture Setting

This topic demonstrates how to add code to Button_Click events to set the Culture for the C1InputDate and C1InputCurrency controls. To do this, complete the following steps:

Click the Design tab located below the Document window to switch to Design view.
From the Toolbox, select the Button control and place it on your Web form (below the table) by performing a drag-and-drop operation. Repeat this step to add a second Button control to your Web form.

You should now have two Button controls placed next to each other on your form. Change some basic settings in the Properties window:

Button1 Properties:	Button2 Properties:
(ID) = FrenchBtn	(ID) = USEnglishBtn
Text = French Culture	Text = U.S. English Culture
Height = 25px	Height = 25px
Width = 130px	Width = 140px

Double-click the French Culture button to create an event handler for the button's Click event. Enter the following code for the FrenchBtn_Click event:
