CultureInfo::DisplayName Property
Gets the culture name in the format "<languagefull> (<country/regionfull>)" in the language of the localized version of .NET Framework.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe culture name in the format "<languagefull> (<country/regionfull>)" in the language of the localized version of .NET Framework, where <languagefull> is the full name of the language and <country/regionfull> is the full name of the country/region.
This property represents the localized name from the .NET Framework version. For example, if the .NET Framework English version is installed, the property returns "English (United States)" for the en-US culture name. If the .NET Framework Spanish version is installed, regardless of the language that the system is set to display, the culture name is displayed in Spanish and the property for en-US returns "Ingles (Estados Unidos)".
However, for a custom culture, this property does not reflect the localized user interface language setting unless it represents English or the language of the custom culture. For example, this property for Fijian (Fiji) does not reflect the localized user interface language of French. Instead, the property returns the Fijian name.
There may be variations for script and other modifiers to the format of the locale name. Applications are expected to use the returned name for display, and not to attempt to parse it.
If a custom culture is created by means of the CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder class, the DisplayName property is initialized to the value of the NativeName property.
The following code example displays several properties of the neutral cultures.
Note |
|---|
The example displays the zh-CHS and zh-CHT cultures with the 0x0004 and 0x7C04 culture identifiers, respectively. However, your Windows Vista applications should use the zh-Hans name instead of "zh-CHS" and the zh-Hant name instead of "zh-CHT". The zh-Hans and zh-Hant names represent the current standard, and should be used unless you have a reason for using the older names. |
