Examples

The following example defines a custom ru-US culture that represents the Russian language in the United States. The example defines the custom culture by loading settings from the Russian (Russia) CultureInfo object and the U.S. RegionInfo object, and then sets a number of CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder properties. The example registers the custom culture, and then instantiates it and makes it the current culture.

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      // Create a custom culture for ru-US.
      CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder car1 = new CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder("ru-US",
                                             CultureAndRegionModifiers.None);
      car1.LoadDataFromCultureInfo(CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ru-RU"));
      car1.LoadDataFromRegionInfo(new RegionInfo("en-US"));

      car1.CultureEnglishName = "Russian (United States)";
      car1.CultureNativeName = "русский (США)";
      car1.CurrencyNativeName = "Доллар (США)";
      car1.RegionNativeName = "США";

      // Register the culture.
      try {
         car1.Register();
      }
      catch (InvalidOperationException) {
         // Swallow the exception: the culture already is registered.
      }

      // Use the custom culture.
      CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ru-US");
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
      Console.WriteLine("Current Culture: {0}",
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name);
      Console.WriteLine("Writing System: {0}",
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.TextInfo);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//     Current Culture: ru-US
//     Writing System: TextInfo - ru-US

   Public Sub Main()
      ' Create a custom culture for ru-US.
      Dim car1 As New CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder("ru-US", CultureAndRegionModifiers.None)

      ' Register the culture.
      Try
         car1.Register()
      Catch e As InvalidOperationException
         ' Swallow the exception: the culture already is registered.
      End Try
      
      ' Use the custom culture.
      Dim ci As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ru-US")
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci
      Console.WriteLine("Current Culture: {0}", 
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name)
      Console.WriteLine("Writing System: {0}", 
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.TextInfo)
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
