Hi hrabia... Plz. Help -- Currency--!!

[Brijesh81]

Hi hrabia,

 

Thanks for your response

 

my original question was-->

 

I am using the following code to get the Sybol for the currency, while displaying a field containing money related data.

 

System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.CurrencySymbol

 

Now the problem is that it displays the Symbol but it displas the $ symbol for the currency while I need a <YEN> symbol for the Japanese currency.

 

Is it because of the <Regional Settings> on my machine. I changed regional settings as well but to no help.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

 

your Answer:: Try with <globalization> tag and "culture" attribute in web.config

 

 

My next Question ::

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

I introduced the line

culture="en-JP"

in my <Web.Config> like the following. But it didn't work.

 

<globalization

requestEncoding="utf-8"

responseEncoding="utf-8"

culture="en-JP"

/>

 

I need the Japanese currency symbol.

 

Plz. Help...

 

Thanks a lot...
