Globalization and getting the Months right (Arabic Morocco)

The follwing code is in C# (easy to convert to VB.Net)... Have fun :

using System;

namespace Malek.Globalization

{

/// <summary>

/// Summary description for CultureInfo.

/// </summary>

public class CultureInfo : System.Globalization.CultureInfo

{

public CultureInfo(int culture) : base(culture)

{

setValidDateTimeFormat();

}

public CultureInfo(int culture, bool userOverride) : base(culture, userOverride)

{

setValidDateTimeFormat();

}

public CultureInfo(string culture) : base(culture)

{

setValidDateTimeFormat();

}

public CultureInfo(string culture, bool userOverride) : base(culture, userOverride)

{

setValidDateTimeFormat();

}

public static new CultureInfo CreateSpecificCulture(string culture)

{

return new CultureInfo(culture);

}

// private System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo base.DateTimeFormat;

private string[] MoroccoMonthNames= new string[]{"يناير", "فبراير","مارس","أبريل","ماي","يونيو","يوليوز","غشت","شتنبر","أكتوبر","نونبر","دجنبر",""};

private void setValidDateTimeFormat(){

if (Name.ToLower()=="ar-ma")

{

System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = (System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo)base.DateTimeFormat.Clone();

dtfi.MonthNames=MoroccoMonthNames;

dtfi.AbbreviatedMonthNames=MoroccoMonthNames;

dtfi.AbbreviatedDayNames=dtfi.DayNames;

dtfi.ShortDatePattern="dd/MM/yy";

dtfi.LongDatePattern="dddd dd MMMM yyyy";

DateTimeFormat= dtfi;

}
