Remarks

The xmlFileName parameter specifies a file name that contains the XML representation of a CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object. The format of the XML file is called Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) version 1.1. A new CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder object is created and initialized with the data in xmlFileName. The Save method performs the reverse operation of the CreateFromLdml method.

In the LDML file, the properties of a culture are specified as child elements of the <special> element in the <identity> section. A property value is typically specified by the element's type attribute. For example, the following excerpt from an LDML file defines a culture's parent as the English neutral culture.

<identity>
   <version number="1.1">ldml version 1.1</version>
   <generation date="2012-05-16" />
   <special xmlns:msLocale="http://schemas.microsoft.com/globalization/2004/08/carib/ldml">
      <!-content removed -->
      <msLocale:parentName type="en" />
      <!-content removed -->
   </special>
</identity>

For more information about the LDML standard, see Unicode Technical Standard #35, "Locale Data Markup Language (LDML)" on the Unicode Consortium website.
