Set currency symbol to euro's

Question

User637998132 posted

Hi

I’m converting an integer to currency but always want to display the euro symbol, no matter where they are.

also i don't want to change the culture from UK

Now it works but then sometimes it does not display the euro symbol but a # like symbol.

if you click read more or use the filters a few times you should be able to see the issue

NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo();

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {       

        if (!IsPostBack)

        {

            SetupPage();

        }

 

        nfi.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;

        nfi.CurrencySymbol = "€";

    }

 
/* this below bit is called in a method

 

  if (CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("property_price_max") == null)

        {

LtrPrice.Text = "Priced " + String.Format(nfi,"{0:c}",     decimal.Parse(CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("property_price_min").ToString()));

        }

        else

        {

            LtrPrice.Text = "Priced from " + String.Format(nfi,"{0:c}",   decimal.Parse(CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("property_price_min").ToString())) + "-" + String.Format(nfi,"{0:c}", decimal.Parse(CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("property_price_max").ToString()));

        }

 i'm using the kentico cms so thats what CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue is, everyting else is just asp.net c#

Thanks

you can change at your level as I have mention in this forum, please go through http://forums.asp.net/p/1514920/3621670.aspx

Similar you have to do.

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
        Dim objCultureInfo As New CultureInfo("el-GR")
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCultureInfo

        Dim objDateTimeFormatInfo As DateTimeFormatInfo = objCultureInfo.DateTimeFormat
        objDateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yy"
        objDateTimeFormatInfo.LongDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
        objCultureInfo.DateTimeFormat = objDateTimeFormatInfo
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = "."
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ","
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = "."
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ","
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.CurrencyGroupSeparator = "."
        objCultureInfo.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol = "€"
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = objCultureInfo
        objDateTimeFormatInfo = Nothing
        objCultureInfo = Nothing
        MyBase.InitializeCulture()
    End Sub

In this case you don't need to require to create base page, then every page have initializeculture then you can implement on same page.
