CultureAndRegionModifiers Enumeration
Specifies constants that define a CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
Assembly: sysglobl (in sysglobl.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral | A neutral custom culture. | |
| None | A specific, supplemental custom culture. | |
| Replacement | A custom culture that replaces an existing .NET Framework culture or Windows locale. |
Specify a bitwise combination of one or more CultureAndRegionModifiers values as an argument to the CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder(String, CultureAndRegionModifiers) constructor. You use the resulting CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object to create a custom culture.
A custom culture can have a combination of these characteristics:
A custom culture can be a specific culture or a neutral culture.
A specific culture specifies a language and a region, while a neutral culture specifies a language but no region.
A custom culture can be a replacement culture or a supplemental culture.
A replacement culture replaces a culture that ships with the .NET Framework or a locale that ships with Windows.
A supplemental culture is anything other than a replacement culture. A supplemental culture can be entirely new, or can extend an existing .NET Framework culture or Windows locale.

Note that the CultureAndRegionModifiers enumeration is found in an assembly named sysglobl.dll. Successfully compiling code that uses this type requires that you add a reference to sysglobl.dll. |
The following code example creates a custom culture with a private use prefix, then lists a set of its properties. The first property is the name of the culture.
