RegionInfo::Name Property
Gets the name or ISO 3166 two-letter country/region code for the current RegionInfo object.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::String^The value specified by the name parameter of the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(String^) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.
-or-
The two-letter code defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region specified by the culture parameter of the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(Int32) constructor. The return value is in uppercase.
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(Int32) constructor that takes a culture identifier parameter, the Name property value is one of the two-letter codes defined in ISO 3166 for the country/region and is formatted in uppercase. For example, the two-letter code for the United States is "US".
If the current RegionInfo object is created with the RegionInfo::RegionInfo(String^) constructor and is passed a full culture name such as "en-US", the Name property value is a full culture name and not just the region name.
The following code example displays the properties of the RegionInfo class.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Globalization; int main() { // Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US". RegionInfo^ myRI1 = gcnew RegionInfo( "US" ); Console::WriteLine( " Name: {0}", myRI1->Name ); Console::WriteLine( " DisplayName: {0}", myRI1->DisplayName ); Console::WriteLine( " EnglishName: {0}", myRI1->EnglishName ); Console::WriteLine( " IsMetric: {0}", myRI1->IsMetric ); Console::WriteLine( " ThreeLetterISORegionName: {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterISORegionName ); Console::WriteLine( " ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName ); Console::WriteLine( " TwoLetterISORegionName: {0}", myRI1->TwoLetterISORegionName ); Console::WriteLine( " CurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1->CurrencySymbol ); Console::WriteLine( " ISOCurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1->ISOCurrencySymbol ); } /* This code produces the following output.
