Namespace:  System.Globalization

public:
static void Unregister(
	String^ cultureName
)

The Unregister method does the reverse of the Register method. The Register method stores a custom culture as a file on the local computer in the Globalization subdirectory of the directory returned by the Win32 API GetWindowsDirectory function. The Unregister method deletes the persisted custom culture file from the computer. After the file is deleted, existing instances of the custom culture in computer memory continue to work, but new instances of the custom culture cannot be created.

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition Platform Note: A custom culture cannot be unregistered if it is in use.

The following code example demonstrates the Unregister method.
