The CultureInfo and RegionInfo classes are exported from the System.Globalization namespace. CultureInfo contains a culture's DisplayName, Calendar, and various official abbreviations.

CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo("en-us"); Console.WriteLine ("The CultureInfo is set to: {0}", c.DisplayName); Console.WriteLine ("The parent culture is: {0}", c.Parent.DisplayName); Console.WriteLine ("The three letter ISO language name is: {0}", c.ThreeLetterISOLanguageName); Console.WriteLine ("The default calendar for this culture is: {0}\n\n", c.Calendar.ToString()); Dim C As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo("en-us") Console.WriteLine ("The CultureInfo is set to: {0}", C.DisplayName) Console.WriteLine ("The parent culture is: {0}", C.Parent.DisplayName) Console.WriteLine ("The three letter ISO language name is: {0}", C.ThreeLetterISOLanguageName) Console.WriteLine ("The default calendar for this culture is: {0}\n\n", C.Calendar.ToString()) CultureInfo* c = new CultureInfo("en-us"); Console::WriteLine ("The CultureInfo is set to: {0}", c->DisplayName); Console::WriteLine ("The parent culture is: {0}", c->Parent->DisplayName); Console::WriteLine ("The three leter ISO language name is: {0}", c->ThreeLetterISOLanguageName); Console::WriteLine ("The default calendar for this culture is: {0}\n\n", c->Calendar->ToString());

RegionInfo contains information for a given region including DisplayName, currency information, and official abbreviations. RegionInfo also contains a static property to retrieve the CurrentRegion.

RegionInfo r = new RegionInfo("us"); Console.WriteLine ("The name of this region is: {0}", r.Name); Console.WriteLine ("The currency symbol for the region is: {0}", r.CurrencySymbol); Console.WriteLine ("Is this region metric : {0} \n\n", r.IsMetric); Dim R As RegionInfo = New RegionInfo("us") Console.WriteLine ("The name of this region is: {0}", R.Name) Console.WriteLine ("The currency symbol for the region is: {0}", R.CurrencySymbol) Console.WriteLine ("Is this region metric : {0}", R.IsMetric) RegionInfo *r = new RegionInfo("us"); Console::WriteLine ("The name of this region is: {0}", r->Name); Console::WriteLine ("The currency symbol for the region is: {0}", r->CurrencySymbol); Console::WriteLine ("Is this region metric : {0} \n\n", r->IsMetric.ToString());
