Question

Is there a way to get current information dynamically from the apps culture settings? Basically if the user has set the culture to US I want to know the currency is dollars, or if they have it set to UK I want to pound sterling etc… etc..

This is so I can send this information to PayPal when a payment is being made

Answer 1

Use the RegionInfo.ISOCurrencySymbol property. For example:

  var ri = new RegionInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID);
  Console.WriteLine(ri.ISOCurrencySymbol);

Output: “USD”
