This is not a globalization issue. This needs to be decided and handled on the level of the exception throwing and resource handling. Currently this is not supported except setting the current UI culture to English. |
|
This is a duplicate of #40427 |
|
@Symbai what exception you are getting in the case you mentioned? Is it Win32Exception? If so, then it is same as #40427. Just start read it from the comment #40427 (comment) |
|
Its HttpClient, so its System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException, not a Win32Exception. I cannot even cast it to a Win32Exception so I cannot use FormatMessageW. I still don't think its a duplicate. |
|
Your code throws the following: So, it throws System.Net.Sockets.SocketException which is extending Win32Exception. It is same thing discussed in #40427 (comment). Basically, the message is coming from Windows OS and not from .NET. Windows cannot guarantee to carry English resources in all situations. There is some manual workaround here https://gist.github.com/ericstj/c72b90b0c12f86b7918850ee276fac3b which can help get the English message (if Windows has English resources). You can just pick SocketException.NativeErrorCode and call the extension method |

|
The workaround expected a Win32Exception as parameter so I tried casting it which obviously didn't worked. Didn't know about SocketException and native code field. I had to modify the workaround, now it works. Closing as duplicate. |
