//
//  Purpose:  This class represents the software preferences of a particular
//            culture or community.  It includes information such as the
//            language, writing system, and a calendar used by the culture
//            as well as methods for common operations such as printing
//            dates and sorting strings.
//
//
//
//  !!!! NOTE WHEN CHANGING THIS CLASS !!!!
//
//  If adding or removing members to this class, please update CultureInfoBaseObject
//  in ndp/clr/src/vm/object.h. Note, the "actual" layout of the class may be
//  different than the order in which members are declared. For instance, all
//  reference types will come first in the class before value types (like ints, bools, etc)
//  regardless of the order in which they are declared. The best way to see the
//  actual order of the class is to do a !dumpobj on an instance of the managed
//  object inside of the debugger.
