CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder::CultureEnglishName Property

 

Gets or sets the culture name in English.

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

public:
property String^ CultureEnglishName {
	String^ get();
	void set(String^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

The culture name in English.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The value in a set operation is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The length of the value in a set operation does not range from 0 to 79 characters.

The CultureEnglishName property corresponds to the EnglishName property.

For example, the return value of the CultureEnglishName property for the specific culture English as spoken in the United States is "English (United States)".

The value of this property is the same, regardless of the language version of the .NET Framework.

The following code example creates a custom culture with a private use prefix, then lists a set of its properties. The first property lists the name of the culture.

// This example demonstrates a System.Globalization.Culture-
// AndRegionInfoBuilder constructor and some of the properties 
// of a custom culture object created with the constructor.

#using <sysglobl.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;

int main()
{
    CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder^ builder = 
        gcnew CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder
        ("x-en-US-sample", CultureAndRegionModifiers::None);

    // Display some of the properties 
    // for the en-US culture.
    Console::WriteLine("CultureName:. . . . . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->CultureName);
    Console::WriteLine("CultureEnglishName: . . . . . . {0}",

        builder->GeoId);
    Console::WriteLine("IsMetric: . . . . . . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->IsMetric);
    Console::WriteLine("ISOCurrencySymbol:. . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->ISOCurrencySymbol);
    Console::WriteLine("RegionEnglishName:. . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->RegionEnglishName);
    Console::WriteLine("RegionName: . . . . . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->RegionName);
    Console::WriteLine("RegionNativeName: . . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->RegionNativeName);
    Console::WriteLine("ThreeLetterISOLanguageName: . . {0}", 
        builder->ThreeLetterISOLanguageName);
    Console::WriteLine("ThreeLetterISORegionName: . . . {0}", 
        builder->ThreeLetterISORegionName);
    Console::WriteLine("ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName: {0}", 
        builder->ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName);
    Console::WriteLine("ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: . {0}", 
        builder->ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName);
    Console::WriteLine("TwoLetterISOLanguageName: . . . {0}",
