Examples

The following code example shows how to create a CultureInfo for Spanish (Spain) with the international sort order and another CultureInfo with the traditional sort order.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes the CultureInfo which uses the international sort.
   CultureInfo^ myCIintl = gcnew CultureInfo( "es-ES",false );
   
   // Creates and initializes the CultureInfo which uses the traditional sort.
   CultureInfo^ myCItrad = gcnew CultureInfo( 0x040A,false );
   
   // Displays the properties of each culture.
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "PROPERTY", "INTERNATIONAL", "TRADITIONAL" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "CompareInfo", myCIintl->CompareInfo, myCItrad->CompareInfo );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "DisplayName", myCIintl->DisplayName, myCItrad->DisplayName );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "EnglishName", myCIintl->EnglishName, myCItrad->EnglishName );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "IsNeutralCulture", myCIintl->IsNeutralCulture, myCItrad->IsNeutralCulture );

   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "Name", myCIintl->Name, myCItrad->Name );

   Console::WriteLine( "{0,-31}{1,-47}{2,-25}", "TwoLetterISOLanguageName", myCIintl->TwoLetterISOLanguageName, myCItrad->TwoLetterISOLanguageName );

   Console::WriteLine( "Comparing \"llegar\" and \"lugar\"" );
   Console::WriteLine( "   With myCIintl -> CompareInfo -> Compare: {0}", myCIintl->CompareInfo->Compare( "llegar", "lugar" ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "   With myCItrad -> CompareInfo -> Compare: {0}", myCItrad->CompareInfo->Compare( "llegar", "lugar" ) );

Remarks

The TextInfo property provides culture-specific casing information for strings. To perform culture-insensitive casing, the application should use the TextInfo property of InvariantCulture.
