Name

Locale

Synopsis

CultureInfo locale = DataSet.Locale;

DataSet.Locale = locale;

Gets or sets the locale information that is the basis of string comparisons in tables.

Example

The following code demonstrates how to set the Locale property of the DataSet to Spanish:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

ds.Locale = new CultureInfo("es");

Notes

The Locale property determines how sorting, comparisons, and filtering will be performed within the DataSet. The CultureInfo class exists in the System.Globalization namespace.

If the Locale property for a DataTable contained in the DataSet isn’t explicitly set, it defaults to the Locale value for the DataSet it belongs to.

The default for the Locale property is the current system CultureInfo.
