How to get “region & language” settings in WP7 via code?

Question

Is it possible to get following settings via the API?

• First day of week
• Region format
• Display language
• System locate

Answer 1

You can use CultureInfo.CurrentCulture and CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture to find the system culture and language settings respectively. The rest of the information (first day of week etc) is within there, I believe - for example:

DayOfWeek firstDayOfWeek = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture
                                      .DateTimeFormat
                                      .FirstDayOfWeek;
