RegionInfo Constructor (Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the RegionInfo class based on the country/region associated with the specified culture identifier.

Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Sub New ( _
    culture As Integer _
)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim culture As Integer

Dim instance As New RegionInfo(culture)

public RegionInfo (
    int culture
)

C++

public:
RegionInfo (
    int culture
)

public RegionInfo (
    int culture
)

JScript

public function RegionInfo (
    culture : int
)

Parameters

culture: A culture identifier.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentException	culture specifies either an invariant, custom, or neutral culture.

Remarks

The culture identifier is mapped to the corresponding National Language Support (NLS) locale identifier. A list of culture identifiers is provided in the CultureInfo class topic.

The name of the new RegionInfo object is the ISO 3166 2-letter code for the region, not the 2-letter language and region codes. For example, the culture identifier for the English-United States culture, which is 0x409, yields a region name of "US", not "en-US".

Example

The following code example compares two instances of RegionInfo that were created differently.

Visual Basic

Imports System
Imports System.Globalization


Public Class SamplesRegionInfo   

   Public Shared Sub Main()

      ' Creates a RegionInfo using the ISO 3166 two-letter code.
      Dim myRI1 As New RegionInfo("US")

      ' Creates a RegionInfo using a CultureInfo.LCID.
      Dim myRI2 As New RegionInfo(New CultureInfo("en-US", False).LCID)

      ' Compares the two instances.
      If myRI1.Equals(myRI2) Then
         Console.WriteLine("The two RegionInfo instances are equal.")
      Else
         Console.WriteLine("The two RegionInfo instances are NOT equal.")
      End If 

   End Sub 'Main

End Class 'SamplesRegionInfo
