Exception messages in en-US only

Question

Hello

I've placed an exception sender in my VB.net app which in case of exceptions, will send them to me to check, seems on localized systems, the messages are not in en-US and I get them like this:

Exception Message: Erro genérico em GDI+.

Root Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException (0x80004005): Erro genérico em GDI+.

How to get the exceptions internally as en-US only? Not going to change it globally in the app, the exceptions messages to the user should remain in localized language, just the one I need to send to myself, how to get it in English only?

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can try temporarily switching to en-US.

1. Save the current culture so you can restore it later.
2. Temporarily set the thread's culture to en-US using Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.
3. Send the exception message and stack trace.
4. Restore the original culture to ensure the rest of the application behaves as expected.

Best Regards.
