How to CultureInfo in VB.NET
In VB.NET, you can retrieve the current culture information using the CultureInfo class and the Thread.CurrentCulture property. The CultureInfo class provides access to various culture-related properties, such as the language, country/region, date and time formats, currency symbol, and more.
Here's an example of how to retrieve the current culture information:
Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Threading
Module Program
Sub Main()
' Get the current culture of the executing thread
Dim currentCulture As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentCulture
' Access various culture-related properties
Console.WriteLine("Culture Name: " & currentCulture.Name)
Console.WriteLine("Language: " & currentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName)
Console.WriteLine("Country/Region: " & currentCulture.TwoLetterISOCountryName)
Console.WriteLine("Date Format: " & currentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern)
Console.WriteLine("Currency Symbol: " & currentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol)
' You can also set the current culture if needed
' Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
This example retrieves the current culture information using Thread.CurrentCulture and displays various properties like the culture name, language, country/region, date format, and currency symbol. You can also set the current culture by assigning a new CultureInfo object to Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.
