DataSet.Locale Property

Definition

Gets or sets the locale information used to compare strings within the table.

C#
public System.Globalization.CultureInfo Locale { get; set; }
C#
[System.Data.DataSysDescription("DataSetLocaleDescr")]
public System.Globalization.CultureInfo Locale { get; set; }

Property Value

A CultureInfo that contains data about the user's machine locale. The default is null.

Attributes

Examples

The following example gets the CultureInfo for a DataSet and prints the DisplayName and EnglishName properties.

VB
Private Sub GetCultureInfo()
   Dim culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo
   culture = DataSet1.Locale
   Console.WriteLine(culture.DisplayName, culture.EnglishName)
End Sub

Remarks

The Locale property specifies the locale for which sorting applies.

By default, setting the Locale for a DataSet also sets the Locale for each DataTable object in that DataSet to the same value.

Note

In columns that contain expressions, the InvariantCulture is used. The CurrentCulture is ignored.
