LocationServiceSoap.GetDefaultCulture Method

Returns the default culture for the current user in string format; for example: "en-US" for English, United States.

Public Function GetDefaultCulture ()

      _ As System.String
[C#]
public System.String GetDefaultCulture ();

Remarks

This method accepts the following SOAP headers:

UserInfoLocationHeader—Used to establish the current user's (the user that is invoking the location service) specific information, such as culture and so on. When this SOAP header is not provided, the current user's default culture is applied. For more information, see UserInfoLocationHeader Class.

ClientIdHeader—Not used with MapPoint Location Server 1.0.

Because this is a Web service, all exceptions appear as SOAP exceptions. For more information, see the SoapException.Detail property.

Example

 
[Visual Basic]
    'Create a LocationServiceSoap proxy instance.
    Dim MyLocationService As New LocationServiceSoap
    'Create and add the credentials required to access the Web service.
    Dim MyCredentials As New NetworkCredential("user", "password", "DOMAIN")
    MyLocationService.Credentials = MyCredentials

    Try
        'Get the default culture of the current user
        Dim MyDefaultCulture As String = MyLocationService.GetDefaultCulture()

    Catch MyException As SoapException
        'Your exception processing goes here.
        If ((Not MyException.Detail Is Nothing) And (Not MyException.Detail("Type") Is Nothing)) Then
            MessageBox.Show(MyException.Detail("Type").InnerText)
        End If

    Finally
        'Your cleanup goes here
        MyLocationService = Nothing
    End Try


 
[C#]
  //Create a LocationServiceSoap proxy instance.
  LocationServiceSoap MyLocationService = new LocationServiceSoap();
  //Create and add the credentials required to access the Web service.
  NetworkCredential MyCredentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password", "DOMAIN");
  MyLocationService.Credentials = MyCredentials;

  try
  {
   //Get the default culture for the current user
   string MyDefaultCulture = MyLocationService.GetDefaultCulture();
  }
  catch(SoapException MyException)
  {
   //Your exception processing goes here.
   if (MyException.Detail != null && MyException.Detail["Type"] != null)
    MessageBox.Show(MyException.Detail["Type"].InnerText);
  }
  finally
  {
   //Your cleanup goes here
   MyLocationService = null;
  }
