获取Windows Phone 8.1的当前区域

Question

I am just facing a problem in getting the user set region in Windows Phone 8.1 (SilverLight) .

Situation: I have set the Region to United Kingdom and the language to English(United States) (it is valid to do that).

In that case I am still getting the region UnitedState(US) via these methods:

• RegionInfo
• Thread.CurrentThread

• System.Globalization

   private static void GetRegion() { // all of the three returing UnitedStates. var dfg = RegionInfo.CurrentRegion; var cuture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture; var cul = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture; } 

Why do these not return United Kingdom as a region?

Answer 1

Building on my previous answer: Detect OS Language WP 8.1

string region =
    Windows.System.UserProfile.GlobalizationPreferences.HomeGeographicRegion;

Answer 2

You could use the RegionInfo.CurrentRegion property as mentioned here which you normally use for WP8 or WP8.1.
