Base Application · System.Globalization · BC23-30 · [source at ea08af5e](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/ea08af5ef2d6a9b5c5af4a029288abbe2c883220/src/Layers/W1/BaseApp/Modules/System/DotNetWrappers/DotNetCultureInfo.Codeunit.al) · facts from BC29

## Procedures

- `GetCultureInfoByName(CultureName: Text)`: Points this codeunit to the specified culture.
- `GetCultureInfoById(LanguageId: Integer)`: Points this codeunit to the specified culture.
- `InvariantCulture()`: Points this codeunit to the invariant culture.
- `Name(): Text`: Gets the name of the culture.
- `LCID(): Integer`: Gets the language code (LCID) of the culture.
- `CurrentCultureName(): Text`: Gets the name of the current culture.
- `ToString(): Text`: Gets a string representation of the culture.
- `TwoLetterISOLanguageName(): Text`: Gets the language name for the culture.
- `ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName(): Text`: Gets the three-letter windows language name.
- `DateTimeFormat(var DotNet_DateTimeFormatInfo: Codeunit DotNet_DateTimeFormatInfo)`: Gets the date-time format info for the culture.
- `GetCultureInfo(var DotNetCultureInfo2: DotNet CultureInfo)`
- `SetCultureInfo(DotNetCultureInfo2: DotNet CultureInfo)`

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 3022 "DotNet_DateTimeFormatInfo"](../codeunit/3022.md) (1 call: `DateTimeFormat → SetDateTimeFormatInfo`)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 10 "Type Helper"](../codeunit/10.md) (5 calls: `FormatDate → DateTimeFormat`, `FormatDate → GetCultureInfoById`, `TryEvaluateDate → GetCultureInfoByName`, …)
- [Codeunit 2023 "Image Analysis Wrapper V3.2"](../codeunit/2023.md) (3 calls: `TryGetImageAnalysisUserLanguage → GetCultureInfoById`, `TryGetImageAnalysisUserLanguage → Name`, `TryGetImageAnalysisUserLanguage → TwoLetterISOLanguageName`)
- [Codeunit 1245 "Transform. Rule - Formatting"](../codeunit/1245.md) (2 calls: `GetDateTime → GetCultureInfoByName`, `GetDateTime → InvariantCulture`)
- [Codeunit 3003 "DotNet_DateTime"](../codeunit/3003.md) (2 calls: `TryParse → GetCultureInfo`, `TryParseExact → GetCultureInfo`)
- [Codeunit 2000 "Time Series Management"](../codeunit/2000.md) (1 call: `LoadTimeSeriesForecast → CurrentCultureName`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC28

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "DotNet_CultureInfo")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
