CompareInfo::Name Property
Gets the name of the culture used for sorting operations by this CompareInfo object.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The Name and CultureInfo::Name properties can have different values. For example, an LCID property value of hexadecimal 0x10407 identifies an alternate sort culture that sorts names as they might appear in a German telephone book. The Name property has a value of "de-de_phoneb", whereas the CultureInfo::Name property of the associated German (Germany) culture has a value of "de-DE".
The following example compares three strings using the fr-FR and ja-JP cultures. The Name property is used to display the name of each culture.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Text; using namespace System::Globalization; int main() { array<String^>^ sign = gcnew array<String^> { "<", "=", ">" }; // The code below demonstrates how strings compare // differently for different cultures. String^ s1 = "Coté"; String^ s2 = "coté"; String^ s3 = "côte"; // Set sort order of strings for French in France. CompareInfo^ ci = (gcnew CultureInfo("fr-FR"))->CompareInfo; Console::WriteLine(L"The LCID for {0} is {1}.", ci->Name, ci->LCID); // Display the result using fr-FR Compare of Coté = coté. Console::WriteLine(L"fr-FR Compare: {0} {2} {1}", s1, s2, sign[ci->Compare(s1, s2, CompareOptions::IgnoreCase) + 1]); // Display the result using fr-FR Compare of coté > côte. Console::WriteLine(L"fr-FR Compare: {0} {2} {1}", s2, s3, sign[ci->Compare(s2, s3, CompareOptions::None) + 1]); // Set sort order of strings for Japanese as spoken in Japan. ci = (gcnew CultureInfo("ja-JP"))->CompareInfo; Console::WriteLine(L"The LCID for {0} is {1}.", ci->Name, ci->LCID); // Display the result using ja-JP Compare of coté < côte. Console::WriteLine("ja-JP Compare: {0} {2} {1}", s2, s3, sign[ci->Compare(s2, s3) + 1]); } // This code produces the following output. // // The LCID for fr-FR is 1036. // fr-FR Compare: Coté = coté // fr-FR Compare: coté > côte // The LCID for ja-JP is 1041. // ja-JP Compare: coté < côte
