NumberFormatInfo::InvariantInfo Property

 

Gets a read-only NumberFormatInfo object that is culture-independent (invariant).

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

public:
property NumberFormatInfo^ InvariantInfo {
	static NumberFormatInfo^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System.Globalization::NumberFormatInfo^

A read-only object that is culture-independent (invariant).

This NumberFormatInfo object returned by this property does not change, regardless of the current culture. It represents the formatting conventions of the invariant culture, which is a culture associated with the English language but not with any country/region. The invariant culture is used in formatting operations that are culture-independent or that produce result strings suitable for display across multiple cultures.

The following example displays the default property values of the InvariantInfo.

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

   // Gets the InvariantInfo.
   NumberFormatInfo^ myInv = NumberFormatInfo::InvariantInfo;

   // Gets a UnicodeEncoding to display the Unicode value of symbols.
   UnicodeEncoding^ myUE = gcnew UnicodeEncoding( true,false );
   array<Byte>^myCodes;

   // Displays the default values for each of the properties.
   Console::WriteLine( "InvariantInfo:\nNote: Symbols might not display correctly on the console, \ntherefore, Unicode values are included." );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyDecimalDigits\t\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyDecimalDigits );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyDecimalSeparator\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyDecimalSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyGroupSeparator\t\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyGroupSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyGroupSizes\t\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyGroupSizes[ 0 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyNegativePattern\t\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyNegativePattern );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencyPositivePattern\t\t {0}", myInv->CurrencyPositivePattern );
   myCodes = myUE->GetBytes( myInv->CurrencySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tCurrencySymbol\t\t\t {0}\t(U+ {1:x2} {2:x2})", myInv->CurrencySymbol, myCodes[ 0 ], myCodes[ 1 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNaNSymbol\t\t\t {0}", myInv->NaNSymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNegativeInfinitySymbol\t\t {0}", myInv->NegativeInfinitySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNegativeSign\t\t\t {0}", myInv->NegativeSign );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNumberDecimalDigits\t\t {0}", myInv->NumberDecimalDigits );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNumberDecimalSeparator\t\t {0}", myInv->NumberDecimalSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNumberGroupSeparator\t\t {0}", myInv->NumberGroupSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNumberGroupSizes\t\t {0}", myInv->NumberGroupSizes[ 0 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tNumberNegativePattern\t\t {0}", myInv->NumberNegativePattern );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentDecimalDigits\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentDecimalDigits );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentDecimalSeparator\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentDecimalSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentGroupSeparator\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentGroupSeparator );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentGroupSizes\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentGroupSizes[ 0 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentNegativePattern\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentNegativePattern );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentPositivePattern\t\t {0}", myInv->PercentPositivePattern );
   myCodes = myUE->GetBytes( myInv->PercentSymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPercentSymbol\t\t\t {0}\t(U+ {1:x2} {2:x2})", myInv->PercentSymbol, myCodes[ 0 ], myCodes[ 1 ] );
   myCodes = myUE->GetBytes( myInv->PerMilleSymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPerMilleSymbol\t\t\t {0}\t(U+ {1:x2} {2:x2})", myInv->PerMilleSymbol, myCodes[ 0 ], myCodes[ 1 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPositiveInfinitySymbol\t\t {0}", myInv->PositiveInfinitySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine( "\tPositiveSign\t\t\t {0}", myInv->PositiveSign );
}
