NumberFormatInfo.NativeDigits Property

Definition

Gets or sets a string array of native digits equivalent to the Western digits 0 through 9.

public:
 property cli::array <System::String ^> ^ NativeDigits { cli::array <System::String ^> ^ get(); void set(cli::array <System::String ^> ^ value); };
public string[] NativeDigits { get; set; }
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]
public string[] NativeDigits { get; set; }
member this.NativeDigits : string[] with get, set
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)>]
member this.NativeDigits : string[] with get, set
Public Property NativeDigits As String()

Property Value

String[]

A string array that contains the native equivalent of the Western digits 0 through 9. The default is an array having the elements "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", and "9".

Attributes

Exceptions

The current NumberFormatInfo object is read-only.

In a set operation, the value is null.

-or-

In a set operation, an element of the value array is null.

In a set operation, the value array does not contain 10 elements.

-or-

In a set operation, an element of the value array does not contain either a single Char object or a pair of Char objects that comprise a surrogate pair.

-or-

In a set operation, an element of the value array is not a number digit as defined by the Unicode Standard. That is, the digit in the array element does not have the Unicode Number, Decimal Digit (Nd) General Category value.

-or-

In a set operation, the numeric value of an element in the value array does not correspond to the element's position in the array. That is, the element at index 0, which is the first element of the array, does not have a numeric value of 0, or the element at index 1 does not have a numeric value of 1.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the NativeDigits property.

// This example demonstrates the NativeDigits property.

using namespace System;

using namespace System::Threading;

int main()
{
    CultureInfo^ currentCI = Thread::CurrentThread->CurrentCulture;
    NumberFormatInfo^ nfi = currentCI->NumberFormat;

    Console::WriteLine("The native digits for the {0} culture are:",
        currentCI->Name);

    for each (String^ nativeDigit in nativeDigitList)
    {
        Console::Write("\"{0}\" ", nativeDigit);
    }

    Console::WriteLine();
}

Remarks

Important

The character set that is specified by the NativeDigits property has no effect on parsing or formatting operations. Only the Basic Latin digits 0 (U+0030) through 9 (U+0039) are used when formatting or parsing numeric values or date and time values.
