Question

My application supports multi language including English ,Chinese, Hindi Language. I need to display the currency symbol in the textbox based on the culture selected. How can this be done?

Answer 1

You can create a CultureInfo object via constructor or CreateSpecificCulture. Then you can use it's NumberFormat property and NumberFormatInfo.CurrencySymbol:

var culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("de-DE");    // german
string currencySymbol = culture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol; // €

culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("hi-IN");     // Hindi 
currencySymbol = culture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol;     //  ₹

Answer 2

Using RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.ISOCurrencySymbol

NumberFormatInfo nfi = ci.NumberFormat;
nfi.CurrencySymbol

See NumberFormatInfo.CurrencySymbol
