Examples

The following example demonstrates several members of the RegionInfo class.

using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()

   // Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US".
   RegionInfo^ myRI1 = gcnew RegionInfo( "US" );

   Console::WriteLine( "   IsMetric:                     {0}", myRI1->IsMetric );

   Console::WriteLine( "   ISOCurrencySymbol:            {0}", myRI1->ISOCurrencySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Compares the RegionInfo above with another RegionInfo created using CultureInfo.
   RegionInfo^ myRI2 = gcnew RegionInfo( (gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false ))->LCID );
   if ( myRI1->Equals( myRI2 ) )
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are equal." );
   else
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are NOT equal." );
}
