Why isn't there a culture enum?

Question

Greetings,

I was wondering why there isn\'t a pre-set enum for cultures in C#? Since the cultures never change and are always like \"nl-NL, en-GB, en-US\".. why not make

Answer 1

Enumerations are fixed at compile time.

But the set of cultures varies at runtime:

• Different OS versions support different cultures
• OS updates (Service Packs, Language Interface Packs, ...) can add cultures
• Later .NET versions support more cultures (build assembly for one version and use it with another).
