3 Digit currency code to currency symbol

Question

In C# is it possible to get a currency symbol, like \'£\', from the 3 character currency code, in this case \'GBP\'?

Is this possible either in SQL Server or in C#?<

Answer 1

Try this code. Enter 'USD' as CurrencyCode and all other.

public string getCurrencySymbol(string CurrencyCode)    
{
        string symbol = string.Empty;
        CultureInfo[] cultures = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures);
        IList Result = new ArrayList();
        foreach (CultureInfo ci in cultures)
        {
            RegionInfo ri = new RegionInfo(ci.LCID);
            if (ri.ISOCurrencySymbol == CurrencyCode)
            {
                symbol = ri.CurrencySymbol;
                return symbol;
            }
        }
        return symbol;

    }
