Question

I am looking for a .Net class/library to use with currency acronyms in the same way the TimeZoneInfo class works with timezones.

I need to populate a drop down list with these acronyms and store the result in a databse. This value will be used to retrieve up to date exchange rates from the web at a later stage.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

CultureInfo[] cultures = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures); IEnumerable<string> currencySymbols = cultures.Select<CultureInfo, string>(culture => new RegionInfo(culture.LCID).ISOCurrencySymbol); 

Is it what you are looking for?
