When communicating between processes or persisting data it is usually better to use the full CultureInfo.Name. Using just the language can lose context and data. |
The following code example displays several properties of the 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. |
