currency

All, Our application requires data on ISO countries and currencies (where the data must be up to date). We did purchase country/currency data from ISO themselves, however we still needed to perform alot of manual manipulation of the data, as well as write our own tool to read and process the data into our database. Are we going about getting this data the wrong way? What is the norm in relation to the acquisition of country/currency data? Is there any well known providers out there that are offer to provide this data as a service or through some other medium in a usable format? Any help will

I have a number formatter set up to convert currency strings to decimal values. The problem is that if the text string does not have a leading dollar sign ("$"), it gets converted to 0, rather than a valid matching number. So: "$3.50" converts to 3.50 "3.50" converts to 0 Here is the code for the converter: // formatter to convert a value to and from a currency string NSNumberFormatter *currencyFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; [currencyFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle]; [currencyFormatter setGeneratesDecimalNumbers:YES]; Am I missing something? I ran into a

I'm trying to get a grip on how currency formatting works in the .NET framework. As I understand it, Thread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormatInfo.CurrencySymbol contains the local culture's currency symbol. But as I see it, in the real world there's not a clear 1-to-1 relation between a specific culture and the currency symbol. For instance, I may be located in UK but I bill my invoices in Euro. Or I may live in Iceland and receive invoices from US suppliers in USD. Or I may live in Sweden but my bank account uses Euro. I realize that in some cases you may just want to assume that the local currency

How can I obtain the current exchange rate for two given currencies in matlab? I tried this one, however it seems that the web service is no longer available. Is there another easy way of obtaining the up-to-date currency exchange rates through a web service in matlab? b3. Build a local class from a currency conversion web service using CREATECLASSFROMWSDL . You can then use the web service's operations to do the conversion using the class methods. One currency conversion web service (there are many) is available at http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL . Here's an example of

How can I display the currency symbol in twig? I saved the numeric value of the symbol like: for EURO : € for DOLLAR: $ When I render these values, & is converted to & and the currency symbol does not show. Any idea will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. To do it well, you've to add a function or a filter which is called as a helper to render currency symbols within your twig templates. To use the following function, {{ currency('en_US') }} You've to add a twig extension as follow, xxx.twig.your_extension: class: XXX\YourBundle\Twig\YourExtension tags: - { name: twig.extension } You've then

Just wondering if anyone has used a currency exchange ruby gem that gets exchange rates from an external api and actually works. I have tried the following gems but have not been able to get any of them to function as described: goog_currency, yahoo_currency, google_currency, yahoo_finance_currency One of these uses deprecated code and hence does not work correctly. I am just trying to display a currency exchange rate in a rails view which has been grabbed from an external api. I have also considered trying to parse the json from yahoo/google finance urls but this seems much harder to do than

I need to set the Django forms.ChoiceField to display the currency symbols. Since django forms escape all the HTML ASCII characters, I can't get the $ ( € ) or the £ ( £ ) to display the currency symbol. <select id="id_currency" name="currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">£</option> <option value="&euro;">€</option> </select> Could you suggest any methods to display the actual HTML Currency character at least for the value part of the option? <select name="currency" id="id_currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">£</option> <option value

Currently learning C++ and this has just occurred to me. I'm just curious about this as I'm about do develop a simple bank program. I'll be using double for calculating dollars/interest rate etc., but there are some tiny differences between computer calculations and human calculations. I imagine that those extra .pennies in the real world can make all the difference! In many cases, financial calculations are done using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating point. For example, the .NET Decimal type, or the VB6 Currency type. These are basically just integer types, where everyone has agreed
