RegionInfo::Name Property

 

Gets the name or ISO 3166 two-letter country/region code for the current RegionInfo object.

Namespace:   System.Globalization
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
property String^ Name {
	virtual String^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

The value specified by the name parameter of the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(String^) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.

-or-

The two-letter code defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region specified by the culture parameter of the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(Int32) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.

If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(Int32) constructor that takes a culture identifier parameter, the Name property value is one of the two-letter codes defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region and is formatted in uppercase. For example, the two-letter code for the United States is "US".

If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(String^) constructor and is passed a full culture name such as "en-US", the Name property value is a full culture name and not just the region name.

The following code example displays the properties of the RegionInfo class.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{

   // Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US".
   RegionInfo^ myRI1 = gcnew RegionInfo( "US" );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Name:                         {0}", myRI1->Name );
   Console::WriteLine( "   DisplayName:                  {0}", myRI1->DisplayName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   EnglishName:                  {0}", myRI1->EnglishName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   IsMetric:                     {0}", myRI1->IsMetric );
   Console::WriteLine( "   ThreeLetterISORegionName:     {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterISORegionName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   TwoLetterISORegionName:       {0}", myRI1->TwoLetterISORegionName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   CurrencySymbol:               {0}", myRI1->CurrencySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "   ISOCurrencySymbol:            {0}", myRI1->ISOCurrencySymbol );
}
