One of the ways in which the regional settings applicable to a website can be changed is by using the Session.LCID property. This is especially useful if you do not have direct access to the server where your website resides. Changing this property will change the way variables are formatted (for example dates and currency).
To change the regional settings to South Africa, add this line to your page load event:
Currency values will now be prefixed with a “R” instead of the default “$”.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like this setting is preserved throughout postbacks (contrary to what you would expect of the Session object) so I would recommend adding it to your Master Page’s page load event.
