I am building an application for a French client.
We originally had a problem with spurious characters being added at the beginning of the text output files created with WriteAllText, but managed to overcome this by
Imports
System.GlobalizationImports
System.ThreadingDim
myCIintl As New CultureInfo("fr-FR")Application.CurrentCulture = myCIintl
Now that has stopped working. When I publish the app
Warning 1 Could not match culture 'fr-FR' for item '.NET Framework 2.0'. Using culture 'en' instead.
[added] XP SP2, VS Standard, Control panel - Regional Settings all set to French France, Publish Options - set to French, France. .NET Framework 1.1, .NET Framework 2.0, .NET Framework 2.0 SDK [end add]
Has something in the .NET Framework been changed Is the change documented I need to get this application published.
I have to admit, I am finding the Visual Studio Standard a very temperamental programme. I have actually moved some development back onto my Visual Basic Express machine to get some stability.
Culture info failure

I found my own solution, and I'm afraid it means a moderator may want move my post to Visual Studio General.
In the IDE, in the Project Properties, I had set the Publish language to French - France. Changing that to Default, the application correctly picked up the machine settings, and once more I have French accents and no spurious characters in the text files.
Hope this helps someone else.
