Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property IsNeutralCulture As Boolean
Dim instance As CultureInfo
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.IsNeutralCulture
public virtual bool IsNeutralCulture { get; }
public:
virtual property bool IsNeutralCulture {
bool get ();
}
public function get IsNeutralCulture () : boolean
If this property returns false, the culture is either a specific culture or the invariant culture.
The following code example determines which cultures using the Chinese language are neutral cultures.

|---|
The example displays the older "zh-CHS" and "zh-CHT" culture names with the 0x0004 and 0x7C04 culture identifiers, respectively. However, your Windows Vista applications should use the zh-Hans name instead of "zh-CHS" and the zh-Hant name instead of "zh-CHT". The zh-Hans and zh-Hant names represent the current standard, and should be used unless you have a reason for using the older names. |
