DataSet.Locale Property
Gets or sets the locale information used to compare strings within the table.
[Visual Basic] Public Property Locale As CultureInfo [C#] public CultureInfo Locale {get; set;} [C++] public: __property CultureInfo* get_Locale(); public: __property void set_Locale(CultureInfo*); [JScript] public function get Locale() : CultureInfo; public function set Locale(CultureInfo);
Property Value
A CultureInfo that contains data about the user's machine locale. The default is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Remarks
The Locale property specifies the locale for which sorting will apply.
By default, setting the Locale for a DataSet also sets the Locale for each DataTable object in that DataSet to the same value.
Example
[Visual Basic] The following example gets the CultureInfo for a DataSet and prints the DisplayName and EnglishName properties.
[Visual Basic]
Private Sub GetCultureInfo()
Dim ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo
ci = DataSet1.Locale
Console.WriteLine(ci.DisplayName, ci.EnglishName)
End Sub
