When I try to create a new RegionInfo with certain ISO 3166 country codes (‘BD’ for Bangladesh, ‘SO’ for Somalia, ‘LK’ for Sri Lanka), I get an ArgumentException that says it’s not recognized.
What’s the deal? The Intellisense of RegionInfo(string) says it conforms to ISO 3166, but these country/region codes are not supported?
I don’t get it.
.NET doesn’t provide all Cultures/Regions out-of-the-box. Note the ‘predefined’ RegionInfos here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.regioninfo(VS.80).aspx.
Unfortunately, if you want to use non-predefined Regions, you have to define them yourself. Here’s the MSDN how-to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172469(VS.80).aspx.
