string itemPrice = "101.45" ; System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo( "en-GB" ); Console.WriteLine( "Current Culture is : " + System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name); Console.WriteLine( "Item price with currency symbol is : " + itemPrice + System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.CurrencySymbol); Console.ReadKey();

i search and i got few more different type of code to achieve the same here code is One solution ------------- var amount = 123.45M; var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo( "da-DK" ); var formattedAmount = String.Format(cultureInfo, "{0:C}" , amount); Console.WriteLine(formattedAmount); 2nd one ---------- Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo( "de" ); // pretend we are german var nfi = (NumberFormatInfo)NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone(); nfi.CurrencySymbol = "$$$" ; Console.WriteLine( string .Format(nfi, "{0:c}" ,345.10)); This will output: 345,10 $$$ Without changing the CurrentCulture it outputs ( for me): $$$345.10 3rd ---- CultureInfo us = new CultureInfo( "en-US" ); // Display i formatted as currency for us. Console.WriteLine(i.ToString( "c" , us)); 4th ---- var ri = new RegionInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID); Console.WriteLine(ri.ISOCurrencySymbol); OR CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol 5th --- decimal dec = 123.00M; string uk = dec.ToString( "C" , new CultureInfo( "en-GB" ); // uk holds "£123.00" string us = dec.ToString( "C" , new CultureInfo( "en-US" ); // us holds "$123.00" OR hread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo( "en-GB" , false ); Console.WriteLine( "bbbbbbb {0:c}" ,4321.2); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo( "en-US" , false ); Console.WriteLine( "bbbbbbb {0:c}" ,4321.2); OR @String.Format( new CultureInfo( "en-US" ), "{0:C}" , @price) OR @String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0:C}" , @price) 6th ------ thanks
