Need some help with Currency formatting...

[iannuzzelli]

I need to be able to convert currency formats depending on what country is selected in my application. I already know the currency but need to format the amount to reflect correct format. Windows already has this functionality and is used in the Regional and Language Settings. Is there a way I can make a call to the API to get the same information?

For example:

$56,789.00 to 56.789,00 euro


Thanks for any help.

What you want is the CultureInfo class. You supply a locale "en-US", "fr-FR", etc. to the constructor and it gives you all your date, number, and currency formatting info.
