Class Overview

The RegionInfo class provides a comprehensive way to access details about geographical regions, such as their currency, language, and naming conventions. It is an essential component for developing applications that need to adapt to different regional settings, ensuring a localized and user-friendly experience.

Key features include:

Retrieving the display name of the region.
Accessing the currency symbol and name for the region.
