| Exception | Condition |
|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The property is set to nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| 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, array<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. For more information, see Formatting for Different Cultures.
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.
