Nasty bug in documentation regarding globalization - wrong Culture Info name for Serbian (Cyrilic)

I found nasty "documentat ion" bug;

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfsystemglob alizationcultur einfoclasstopic .htm

claims that proper culture info name for Serbian (Cyrillic) - Serbia
is "Cy-sr-SP" but if you try this, you will get "Culture name Cy-sr-SP
is not supported" exception.

If you set up culture info via
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo(0x081A) and than retrieve
CultureInfo.Nam e you will get "sr-sp-Cyrl".

Could someone make actions to correct this, either in documentation or
in .Net framework.

Thanks,
Dejan

This is a Doc bug and it has been fixed for VS.NET 2003 MSDN release.

If you have it installed, it is at
ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2003 FEB.1033/cpref/html/frlrfSystemGlob alizationCultur e
InfoClassTopic. htm

It is now:
sr-SP-Cyrl 0x0C1A Serbian (Cyrillic) - Serbia

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
