C# Tasks, System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Question

I execute code in Tasks in order to generate excel files. But cells format are still in en-US format. Do Tasks get the CurrentCulture parameter of the Current Thread ?

Here some code :

        Parallel.ForEach(_blablalist, blabla =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);
            Console.WriteLine(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture);
            Dowork(blabla);

        }

Output :

fr-FR

This is what I want but the excel keep to be in en-US format. Maybe Tasks have others parameters :/

probably yes, did you try to set a specific current thread culture inside the task execution? does it work? — Davide Piras, Sep 12 '11 at 20:54
No they don't, culture doesn't 'flow' between threads. They will initialize to the system default. — Hans Passant, Sep 12 '11 at 21:06

Looks like that CultureInfo works only for unmanaged code :(
