    <p>Why would a DropDownList switch from Spanish into English when one selects a new item in it? And how does one prevent that from happening?</p> <pre><code> &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="ddl_r1pc" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlRelationship_SelectedIndexChanged"&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem Value="Spouse" Text="&lt;%$Resources:messages, RelSpouse %&gt;"&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem Value="Parent(s)" Text="&lt;%$Resources:messages, RelParents %&gt;"&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem Value="Other" Text="&lt;%$Resources:messages, Other %&gt;"&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then in <code>Page_Load()</code>, this always runs (i.e., both as <code>IsPostBack</code> and <code>!IsPostBack</code>):</p> <pre><code> try { culture = (string) Session["culture"]; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(culture); } catch { Server.Transfer("~/sessiontimeout.aspx"); } </code></pre> <p>When you first come to this page after having chosen Spanish as your language, the dropdown is populated with the ListItems texts displaying -- as expected -- in Spanish. But when you go to select another item from the dropdown, all the items come back in English!</p> <p>When you examine the dropdown before the AutoPostBack (both server-side and in FireBug), each ListItem is properly set, as in</p> <pre><code> Value="Some English" Text="Some Español" </code></pre> <p>whereas <strong>after</strong> the PostBack, it looks like</p> <pre><code> Value="Some English" Text="The same English" </code></pre> <p>Why is this happening, and what can I do to get it to keep the Spanish one sees before any PostBacks?</p> <p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p> <ol> <li>The routine pointed to in <code>OnSelectedIndexChanged</code> is currently commented out, so the problem is not there. </li> <li>I added <code>EnableViewState="true"</code> to the DropDownList, but that didn't make any difference, so I removed it.</li> <li>As suggested below by Ichiban, I moved setting the <code>Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture</code> from <code>Page_Load</code> to <code>Page_Init()</code>, but that too didn't make any difference.</li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
