   RegionInfo^ myRI1 = gcnew RegionInfo( "US" );

   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Compares the RegionInfo above with another RegionInfo created using CultureInfo.

   if ( myRI1->Equals( myRI2 ) )
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are equal." );
   else
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are NOT equal." );
