Example

The following example demonstrates several members of the RegionInfo class.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US".
   RegionInfo^ myRI1 = gcnew RegionInfo( "US" );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Name:                         {0}", myRI1->Name );
   Console::WriteLine( "   DisplayName:                  {0}", myRI1->DisplayName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   EnglishName:                  {0}", myRI1->EnglishName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   IsMetric:                     {0}", myRI1->IsMetric );
   Console::WriteLine( "   ThreeLetterISORegionName:     {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterISORegionName );
   Console::WriteLine( "   ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName: {0}", myRI1->ThreeLetterWindowsRegionName );

   Console::WriteLine( "   ISOCurrencySymbol:            {0}", myRI1->ISOCurrencySymbol );
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Compares the RegionInfo above with another RegionInfo created using CultureInfo.
   RegionInfo^ myRI2 = gcnew RegionInfo( (gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false ))->LCID );
   if ( myRI1->Equals( myRI2 ) )
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are equal." );
   else
      Console::WriteLine( "The two RegionInfo instances are NOT equal." );
}
