CultureInfo.IsNeutralCulture Property
Gets a value indicating whether the current CultureInfo represents a neutral culture.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the current CultureInfo represents a neutral culture; otherwise, false.
The following code example determines which cultures using the Chinese language are neutral cultures.
 Note |
|---|
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. |
