{
 // Print the LCID of the present CultureInfo.
 Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID);

 // Create a new CultureInfo for the United Kingdom.
 CultureInfo myCultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en-gb");
 table.Locale = myCultureInfo;

 // Print the new LCID.
 Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID);
}

Private Sub ChangeCultureInfo(table As DataTable)
 ' Print the LCID of the present CultureInfo.
 Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID)

 ' Create a new CultureInfo for the United Kingdom.
 Dim myCultureInfo As New CultureInfo("en-gb")
 table.Locale = myCultureInfo

 ' Print the new LCID.
 Console.WriteLine(table.Locale.LCID) 
End Sub

Remarks

A CultureInfo represents the software preferences of a particular culture or community.

When used for string comparisons, the CultureInfo affects sorting, comparisons, and filtering.
