CultureAndRegionModifiers Enumeration

 

Specifies constants that define a CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

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

[FlagsAttribute]
public enum class CultureAndRegionModifiers

Member nameDescription
Neutral

A neutral custom culture.

None

A specific, supplemental custom culture.

Replacement

A custom culture that replaces an existing .NET Framework culture or Windows locale.

Specify a bitwise combination of one or more CultureAndRegionModifiers values as an argument to the CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder::CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder(String^, CultureAndRegionModifiers) constructor. You use the resulting CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object to create a custom culture.

A custom culture can have a combination of these characteristics:

  • A custom culture can be a specific culture or a neutral culture.

    A specific culture specifies a language and a region, while a neutral culture specifies a language but no region.

  • A custom culture can be a replacement culture or a supplemental culture.

    A replacement culture replaces a culture that ships with the .NET Framework or a locale that ships with Windows.

    A supplemental culture is anything other than a replacement culture. A supplemental culture can be entirely new, or can extend an existing .NET Framework culture or Windows locale.

System_CAPS_importantImportant

Note that the CultureAndRegionModifiers enumeration is found in an assembly named sysglobl.dll. Successfully compiling code that uses this type requires that you add a reference to sysglobl.dll.

The following code example creates a custom culture with a private use prefix, then lists a set of its properties. The first property is 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->CultureEnglishName);
    Console::WriteLine("CultureNativeName:. . . . . . . {0}", 
        builder->CultureNativeName);
    Console::WriteLine("GeoId:. . . . . . . . . . . . . {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}", 
        builder->TwoLetterISOLanguageName);
    Console::WriteLine("TwoLetterISORegionName: . . . . {0}", 
        builder->TwoLetterISORegionName);
}
