web.config allow a globalization tag: This setting will set the globalization for the entire ASP.NET application.

Does this tag work in app.config in standard forms applications too? If yes... where shall it be placed?

Or.. is there another way to set the globalization for the entire forms application. Including dll's and all threads?
