Remarks

The DisplayName property displays the country/region name in the language of the localized version of .NET. For example, the DisplayName property displays the country/region in English on the English version of .NET, and in Spanish on the Spanish version of .NET.

The value of the DisplayName property is taken from the resource files in the language of the current user interface culture, represented by CurrentUICulture. Custom regions or those synthesized from the operating system might not have resource information, in which case the value for DisplayName is the same as the value of the NativeName property.
