Culture info names

Question

I am changing the application culture based on the selected currency.

eg.

_culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
_culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");

Is there any place where I can get all the names of culture info for work with .net?

I found most of them but misssing for few countries like

Fiji Dollar(FJD), Swedish Kroner(SEK), Icelandic Kroner(ISK), Sri Lankan Rupee(LKR) and Brazilian Real(BRL)

It will be great if somebody knows any reference I can look for these currencies.

Thanks

You can use CultureInfo.GetCultures to find the list of the cultures supported on the machine you're actually running on. I wouldn't be surprised if it varied by OS, service pack, .NET version etc.

Answer 3

Check out CultureInfo.GetCultures method.

Gets the list of supported cultures filtered by the specified CultureTypes parameter.

You can use CultureTypes.AllCultures as a parameter which;

All cultures that ship with the .NET Framework, including neutral and specific cultures, cultures installed in the Windows operating system, and custom cultures created by the user.

foreach (CultureInfo ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures))
{
     Console.Write("{0,-7}", ci.Name);
     Console.Write(" {0,-3}", ci.TwoLetterISOLanguageName);
     Console.Write(" {0,-3}", ci.ThreeLetterISOLanguageName);
     Console.Write(" {0,-3}", ci.ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName);
     Console.Write(" {0,-40}", ci.DisplayName);
     Console.WriteLine(" {0,-40}", ci.EnglishName);
}

Here is a DEMO.

Answer 4

National Language Support (NLS) API Reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb896001.aspx

In the link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.regioninfo.isocurrencysymbol(v=vs.110).aspx
you can find SEK, ISK and BRL.

new RegionInfo("si-LK") is for LKR. And unfortunately no Fiji in NLS list.
