Remarks

The application should use the GeoId property to provide culture-specific services to customers. For example, the GeoId property can be used as a key to access a database record that contains specific information about a country/region.

This property value corresponds to the Windows GetUserGeoID function. For a list of geographical identifiers, see Table of Geographical Locations.
