Property Value

Type: System.Globalization::CultureInfo^

A CultureInfo that contains data about the user's machine locale. The default is the DataSet object's CultureInfo (returned by the Locale property) to which the DataTable belongs; if the table doesn't belong to a DataSet, the default is the current system CultureInfo.

A CultureInfo represents the software preferences of a particular culture or community.

When used for string comparisons, the CultureInfo affects sorting, comparisons, and filtering.

System_CAPS_noteNote

In columns that contain expressions, the InvariantCulture is used. The CurrentCulture is ignored.

The following example sets the CultureInfo through the Locale and prints the ISO language name.
