I have a UWP app that uses Microsoft.NetCore.UWP
as a dependency.
I want to use System.Globalization
library, but the one included in mscorlib
, not the one included in NetCore.
That is because the latter has several additional methods I need, f. e. CultureInfo.GetCultures(...)
.
How do I use it?
Right now my using System.Globalization
point to this file:
#region Assembly System.Globalization, Version=4.0.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...
// C:\Users\...\.nuget\packages\system.globalization\4.3.0\ref\netcore50\System.Globalization.dll
#endregion
What I need is this:
#region Assembly mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...
// C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\mscorlib.dll
#endregion
K, after some investigation...
You can use the .net standard 2.0 compatible version of System.Globalization
in your project to allow calling CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures)
but, first you need to make sure you are targeting the
*Fall creator's update version
Once you have updated that then install the package from nuget.
Once I've done that the following runs fine.
var testresult = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures);
