Gets or sets the current culture used by the Resource Manager to look up culture-specific resources at run time.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Public Property CurrentUICulture As CultureInfo
public CultureInfo CurrentUICulture { get; set; }
public: property CultureInfo^ CurrentUICulture { CultureInfo^ get (); void set (CultureInfo^ value); }
member CurrentUICulture : CultureInfo with get, set
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException |
The property is set to null. |
| ArgumentException |
The property is set to a culture name that cannot be used to locate a resource file. Resource filenames must include only letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores. |
The CultureInfo returned by this property can be a neutral culture. Neutral cultures should not be used with formatting methods such as String.Format(IFormatProvider, String, Object[]), DateTime.ToString(String, IFormatProvider), and Convert.ToString(Char, IFormatProvider). Use the CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture method to get a specific culture, or use the CurrentCulture property.
Note

The CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture method throws ArgumentException for the neutral cultures "zh-Hant" ("zh-CHT") and "zh-Hans" ("zh-CHS"). |
The following code example shows the threading statement that allows the user interface of a Windows Forms to display in the culture that is set in Control Panel. Additional code is needed.
' Compile with option t:winexe /r:System.dll,System.Windows.Forms.dll. Option Explicit Option Strict Imports System Imports System.Threading Imports System.Windows.Forms Public Class UICulture Inherits Form Sub New() ' Set the user interface to display in the ' same culture as that set in Control Panel. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = _ Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture ' Add additional code. End Sub <STAThreadAttribute> Shared Sub Main() Application.Run(New UICulture()) End Sub End Class
// Compile with option /t:winexe. using System; using System.Threading; using System.Windows.Forms; class UICulture : Form { public UICulture() { // Set the user interface to display in the // same culture as that set in Control Panel. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture; // Add additional code. } [STAThreadAttribute] static void Main() { Application.Run(new UICulture()); } }
#using <system.dll> #using <System.Drawing.dll> #using <system.windows.forms.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Threading; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; ref class UICulture: public Form { public: UICulture() { // Set the user interface to display in the // same culture as that set in Control Panel.
