AssemblyName.CultureInfo Property

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

Gets or sets the culture that is supported by the assembly.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property CultureInfo As CultureInfo

public CultureInfo CultureInfo { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Globalization.CultureInfo
The culture that is supported by the assembly.

Examples

This section contains two examples. The first example shows how to use the AssemblyName(String) constructor to parse a string that contains a full assembly name. The second example shows how to create an assembly name and use it to define a dynamic assembly.

Example 1

The following example gets the full name of a .NET Framework assembly, parses it by using the AssemblyName(String) constructor, and uses the properties and methods of AssemblyName to display the individual parts.

Note:
To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.

Imports System.Reflection

Public Class Example
   Private Const mask As Byte = 15

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Use AssemblyName to parse full assembly names. In this example, the 
      ' assembly is mscorlib.dll.
      Dim name As String = GetType(String).Assembly.FullName
      Dim asmName As New AssemblyName(name) 

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Name: {0}" & vbLf, asmName.Name)

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Version: {0}" & vbLf, asmName.Version)

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("CultureInfo: {0}" & vbLf, asmName.CultureInfo)

      Dim pkt As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
      For Each b As Byte In asmName.GetPublicKeyToken()
          pkt.Append(Hex(b \ 16 And mask) & Hex(b And mask))
      Next b
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("PublicKeyToken: {0}" & vbLf, pkt.ToString())

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("FullName: {0}" & vbLf, asmName.FullName)

   End Sub

End Class

' This example produces output similar to the following:
'
'Name: mscorlib
'Version: 2.0.5.0
'CultureInfo: 
'PublicKeyToken: 7CEC85D7BEA7798E
'FullName: mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e

using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class Example
{
   private const byte mask = 15;
   private const string hex = "0123456789ABCDEF";

   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      // Use AssemblyName to parse full assembly names. In this example, the 
      // assembly is mscorlib.dll.
      string name = typeof(string).Assembly.FullName;
      AssemblyName asmName = new AssemblyName(name);

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Name: {0}\n", asmName.Name);

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Version: {0}\n", asmName.Version);

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("CultureInfo: {0}\n", asmName.CultureInfo);

      System.Text.StringBuilder pkt = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
      foreach( byte b in asmName.GetPublicKeyToken() )
      {
         pkt.Append(hex[b / 16 & mask]);
         pkt.Append(hex[b & mask]);
      }
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("PublicKeyToken: {0}\n", pkt.ToString());

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("FullName: {0}\n", asmName.FullName);
   }
}

/* This example produces output similar to the following:

Name: mscorlib
Version: 2.0.5.0
CultureInfo: 
PublicKeyToken: 7CEC85D7BEA7798E
FullName: mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e
 */

Example 2

The following example emits a dynamic assembly. When the assembly is created, the CultureInfo property is used to specify the culture, which is part of the assembly's display name.

Note:
To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.

Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Reflection.Emit

Public Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Create an AssemblyName, set its properties, and use it to define a dynamic
      ' assembly.
      Dim aName As New AssemblyName("MyDynamicAssembly")
      aName.CultureInfo = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
      aName.Version = New Version("1.0.0.2001")

      Dim ab As AssemblyBuilder = _
         AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(aName, _
                                                       AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run)
      Dim mb As ModuleBuilder = ab.DefineDynamicModule("Temp")
      Dim tb As TypeBuilder = mb.DefineType("Dummy", TypeAttributes.Public)

      Dim t As Type = tb.CreateType()

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Assembly FullName: {0}" & vbLf, _
                                        t.Assembly.FullName) 
   End Sub
End Class

' This code example produces output similar to the following:
'
'Assembly FullName: MyDynamicAssembly, Version=1.0.0.2001, Culture=en-US, PublicKeyToken=null

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;

public class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      // Create an AssemblyName, set its properties, and use it to define a dynamic
      // assembly.
      AssemblyName aName = new AssemblyName("MyDynamicAssembly");
      aName.CultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
      aName.Version = new Version("1.0.0.2001");

      AssemblyBuilder ab = 
         AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);
      ModuleBuilder mb = ab.DefineDynamicModule("Temp");
      TypeBuilder tb = mb.DefineType("Dummy", TypeAttributes.Public);

      Type t = tb.CreateType();

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Assembly FullName: {0}\n", t.Assembly.FullName);
   }
}

Assembly FullName: MyDynamicAssembly, Version=1.0.0.2001, Culture=en-US, PublicKeyToken=null
