| System.Globalization Namespace |
The System.Globalization namespace contains classes that define
culture-related information, including language, country/region, calendars in use,
format patterns for dates, currency, and numbers, and sort order for strings. These
classes are useful for writing globalized (internationalized) applications. Classes
such as StringInfo and TextInfo provide advanced globalization functionalities,
including surrogate support and text element processing.
