In contrast to CultureInfo, RegionInfo does not represent preferences of the user and does not depend on the user's language or culture.

The RegionInfo name is one of the two-letter codes defined in ISO 3166 for country/region. Case is not significant; however, the Name, the TwoLetterISORegionName, and the ThreeLetterISORegionName properties return the appropriate code in uppercase.

The below shows several examples of using the RegionInfo class.

The first example displays a list of the predefined RegionInfo names accepted and used by this class and other classes in the System.Globalization namespace.
