It shows how to display the properties and sub-properties of the object. The first command uses the Get-Culture cmdlet to get the current culture settings on the computer. It stores the resulting culture object in the $c variable. The second command displays all of the properties of the culture object. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the culture object in $c to the Format-List cmdlet. It uses the Property parameter to display all (*) properties of the object. (This command can be abbreviated as "$c | fl *".) The remaining commands explore the properties of the culture object by using dot notation to display the values of the object properties. You can use this notation to display the value of any property of the object. The third command uses dot notation to display the value of the Calendar property of the culture object. The fourth command uses dot notation to display the value of the DataTimeFormat property of the culture object. Many object properties have properties. The fifth command uses dot notation to display the value of the FirstDayOfWeek property of the DateTimeFormat property.
