 | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEquivalentCulture() | Returns the appropriate equivalent CultureInfo for this XmlLanguage, if and only if such a CultureInfo is registered for the IetfLanguageTag value of this XmlLanguage |
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetLanguage(String^) | Returns a XmlLanguage instance, based on a string representing the language per RFC 3066. |
| GetSpecificCulture() | Returns the most-closely-related non-neutral CultureInfo for this XmlLanguage. |
| GetType() | |
| MemberwiseClone() | |
| ToString() | Returns a String that represents the current XmlLanguage.(Overrides Object::ToString().) |
The language tag may or may not have a registered CultureInfo present on the system where the XAML is interpreted.
This class is useful for dealing with values represented using xml:lang in XML.
Language tags can be specified in two-character form or in a hyphenated language-locale form. See RFC 3066.
Note that the XML specification allows the empty string for xml:lang, although that is not permitted by RFC 3066; therefore, the XmlLanguage type permits "" (empty attribute string). A default-constructed XmlLanguage behaves as if constructed with "" (empty string).
<object property="prefix"/> - or - <object property="prefix-subcode"/>
- prefix
Language prefix, using the ISO 639-1 language prefix values. For example "en", or "zh". Uppercase values are accepted and converted to lowercase. This may also be an empty attribute, "".
- subcode
If provided, must be preceded by a single hyphen. Then, a subcode as defined by RFC 3066. The most typical usage, and the one which is most likely to properly map to a CultureInfo, is a country or regional designation such as "-us" or "-hk". Uppercase values are accepted and converted to lowercase.
