RegionInfo.Name Property
Gets the name or ISO 3166 two-letter country/region code for the current RegionInfo object.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.StringThe value specified by the name parameter of the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(String) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.
-or-
The two-letter code defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region specified by the culture parameter of the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(Int32) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(Int32) constructor that takes a culture identifier parameter, the Name property value is one of the two-letter codes defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region and is formatted in uppercase. For example, the two-letter code for the United States is "US".
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo.RegionInfo(String) constructor and is passed a full culture name such as "en-US", the Name property value is a full culture name and not just the region name.
The following code example displays the properties of the RegionInfo class.
using System; using System.Globalization; public class SamplesRegionInfo { public static void Main() { // Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US". RegionInfo myRI1 = new RegionInfo( "US" ); Console.WriteLine( " Name: {0}", myRI1.Name ); Console.WriteLine( " DisplayName: {0}", myRI1.DisplayName ); Console.WriteLine( " EnglishName: {0}", myRI1.EnglishName ); Console.WriteLine( " IsMetric: {0}", myRI1.IsMetric ); Console.WriteLine( " ThreeLetterISORegionName: {0}", myRI1.ThreeLetterISORegionName ); Console.WriteLine( " ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: {0}", myRI1.ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName ); Console.WriteLine( " TwoLetterISORegionName: {0}", myRI1.TwoLetterISORegionName ); Console.WriteLine( " CurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1.CurrencySymbol ); Console.WriteLine( " ISOCurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1.ISOCurrencySymbol ); } } /* This code produces the following output. Name: US DisplayName: United States EnglishName: United States IsMetric: False ThreeLetterISORegionName: USA ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: USA TwoLetterISORegionName: US CurrencySymbol: $ ISOCurrencySymbol: USD */
