This sample demonstrates how to customize the units used when formatting BinarySize values by
using the BinaryUnitInfo class. This class lets you change how units are displayed and parsed, in
both their full and abbreviated forms.
The sample asks for a value, and prints that value using full and abbreviated SI and IEC units, using three cultures: the current culture, with the default, English-language units; French culture and units; and Japanese culture and units.
Below is an example execution of this application:
