Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property Locale As CultureInfo
Dim instance As DataTable
Dim value As CultureInfo
value = instance.Locale
instance.Locale = value
public CultureInfo Locale { get; set; }
public:
property CultureInfo^ Locale {
CultureInfo^ get ();
void set (CultureInfo^ value);
}
public function get Locale () : CultureInfo
public function set Locale (value : CultureInfo)
A CultureInfo represents the software preferences of a particular culture or community.
When used for string comparisons, the CultureInfo affects sorting, comparisons, and filtering.
The following example sets the CultureInfo through the Locale and prints the ISO language name.
Private Sub ChangeCultureInfo(table As DataTable)
' Print the LCID of the present CultureInfo.
Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID)
' Create a new CultureInfo for the United Kingdom.
Dim myCultureInfo As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo("en-gb")
table.Locale = myCultureInfo
' Print the new LCID.
Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID)
End Sub
private void ChangeCultureInfo(DataTable table)
{
// Print the LCID of the present CultureInfo.
Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID);
// Create a new CultureInfo for the United Kingdom.
CultureInfo myCultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-gb");
table.Locale = myCultureInfo;
// Print the new LCID.
Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID);
