Property Value

Type: System::Int32

A 32-bit signed number that uniquely identifies a geographical location.

The application should use the GeoId property to provide culture-specific services to customers. For example, the GeoId property can be used as a key to access a database record that contains specific information about a country/region.

This property value corresponds to the Windows GetUserGeoID function. For a list of geographical identifiers, see Table of Geographical Locations in the MSDN Library.

The following code example demonstrates the GeoId property.

// This example demonstrates the RegionInfo.EnglishName, NativeName,
// CurrencyEnglishName, CurrencyNativeName, and GeoId properties.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;

int main()
{
    // Regional Info for Sweden
    RegionInfo^ ri = gcnew RegionInfo("SE");

    Console::Clear();
    Console::WriteLine("Region English Name: . . . {0}", ri->EnglishName);
    Console::WriteLine("Native Name: . . . . . . . {0}", ri->NativeName);
    Console::WriteLine("Currency English Name: . . {0}",
        ri->CurrencyEnglishName);
    Console::WriteLine("Currency Native Name:. . . {0}",
        ri->CurrencyNativeName);
    Console::WriteLine("Geographical ID: . . . . . {0}", ri->GeoId);
}
