CultureInfo.ToString Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a string containing the name of the current CultureInfo object in the format "languagecode-country/regioncode".

Namespace:  System.Globalization
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function ToString As String
public override string ToString()

Return Value

Type: System.String
A string containing the name of the current CultureInfo.

Remarks

This method overrides Object.ToString. It returns a normalized version of the value that was passed to the CultureInfo class constructor when the object was instantiated. (The string is normalized so that, regardless of the case of the string passed to the constructor, the language component of the returned string is lowercase and the country/region component of the returned string is uppercase.)

The predefined CultureInfo names are listed in the CultureInfo class topic.
