CultureInfoConverter Class
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
This converter can only convert a CultureInfo object to and from a string.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.
Note: |
|---|
| You should never create an instance of the CultureInfoConverter class. Instead, call the GetConverter method of the TypeDescriptor class. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class. The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this class has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
The following code example converts a variable of type CultureInfo to a string, and vice versa. First it constructs a CultureInfo variable using the Greek culture (represented by "el") and converts it to the string "Greek". Then it converts the string "Russian" to the CultureInfo representation "ru".
' The sample first constructs a CultureInfo variable using the Greek culture - 'el'. Dim myCulture As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("el") Dim myCString As String = "Russian" Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myCulture).ConvertTo(myCulture, GetType(String))) ' The following line will output 'ru' based on the string being converted. Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myCulture).ConvertFrom(myCString))
// The sample first constructs a CultureInfo variable using the
// Greek culture - 'el'.
System.Globalization.CultureInfo myCulture = new System.Globalization.
CultureInfo("el");
String myCString = "Russian";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myCulture).
ConvertTo(myCulture, String.class.ToType()));
// The following line will output 'ru' based on the
// string being converted.
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myCulture).
ConvertFrom(myCString));
