XAML Values

xmlLanguageStr

"prefix"
- or -

"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 equivalent to lowercase.

To specify a Language value in XAML, you specify a string that represents the same string you would use in a call to GetLanguage.

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Markup.XmlLanguage
A value of type XmlLanguage. The default is a XmlLanguage value created with the string en-US (IetfLanguageTag is "en-US").

Remarks
