cultureinfo

I'm writing a custom string to decimal validator that needs to use Decimal.TryParse that ignores culture (i.e. doesn't care if the input contains "." or "," as decimal point separator). This is the suggested method: public static bool TryParse( string s, NumberStyles style, IFormatProvider provider, out decimal result ) I can't figure out what to use as the 3rd parameter. The examples I've seen look like this: culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB"); Decimal.TryParse(value, style, culture, out number) so they create a specific culture. CultureInfo does not have a

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 Use the RegionInfo.ISOCurrencySymbol property. For example: var ri = new RegionInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID); Console.WriteLine(ri.ISOCurrencySymbol); Output: "USD" You can get the symbol from CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat

I want to set default culture info for that class or for entire application. For example in Turkey 3,2 = in english 3.2 so application uses my local but i want it to use as default System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture How can i set it to that as default for that specific class or for entire application Alexei Levenkov Not for entire application or particular class. CurrentUICulture and CurrentCulture are settable per thread as discussed here Is there a way of setting culture for a whole application? All current threads and new threads? . You can't change InvariantCulture at all.

First of all, this is not a duplicate of: Quickest way to enumerate the alphabet Because I need to get all the characters of the alphabet OF AN ARBITRARY (variable) LANGUAGE, and that in the correct ordering sequence. How can I do that without knowing the alphabet of every possible culture/language ? System.Gobalization.Cultureinfo for example has information on date format, and a sorting method, and codepage info. But not info on the alphabet itselfs. Forthermore 'A' to 'Z' ordering iterating won't do, because German for example has characters such as ÄÖÜ, which are after 'Z' in the codepage

I am wondering, how would regular expression for testing correct format of number for German culture would look like. In German, comma is used as decimal mark and dot is used to separate thousands. Therefore: 1.000 equals to 1000 1,000 equals to 1 1.000,89 equals to 1000.89 1.000.123.456,89 equals to 1000123456.89 The real trick, seems to me, is to make sure, that there could be several dots, optionally followed by comma separator This is the regex I would use: ^-?\d{1,3}(?:\.\d{3})*(?:,\d+)?$ Debuggex Demo And this is a code example to interpret it as a valid floating point (notice the
