I need to get the information specified in the system regional & language
options -> regional options -> location.

I thought regional info is linked to CurrentCulture, but couldn't find this
location info anywhere.

Do you have any insight?

Thanks!

John

To get the location info, you must P/Invoke to the GEO APIs.

Michael,
Thanks for reply.
From which name space do I get GEO API? Is this part of .net framework or
System API?

It is a bunch of win32 functions, none of it is currently exposed in the
.NET Framework.

See http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/02/04/366922.aspx for more
info on the APIs.
