Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared ReadOnly Property CurrentCulture As CultureInfo

public static CultureInfo CurrentCulture { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Globalization.CultureInfo
The object that represents the culture used by the current thread.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to change the CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture of the current thread.

Imports System.Threading

Public Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Displays the name of the CurrentCulture of the current thread.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("CurrentCulture is {0}.", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name) & vbCrLf

      ' Changes the CurrentCulture of the current thread to th-TH.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("th-TH")
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("CurrentCulture is now {0}.", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name) & vbCrLf

      ' Displays the name of the CurrentUICulture of the current thread.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("CurrentUICulture is {0}.", CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name) & vbCrLf

      ' Changes the CurrentUICulture of the current thread to ja-JP.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("ja-JP")
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("CurrentUICulture is now {0}.", CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name) & vbCrLf
   End Sub
End Class
