Dynamically set culture for date format but keep currency USD

Question

User-1028151323 posted

OK, I'm successfully changing cultures on the fly, working fine. I needed this for date formatting, but that's ALL I need it for. Unfortunately its also changing currency, which I do NOT want it to do. I need currency to display in USD at all times.

Here's what I've got, can anyone shed some light on how I keep the currency formatting in USD?

 public void SetCulture(string cult)

         {

             if (!String .IsNullOrEmpty(cult))

             {

                 var selectedLanguage = cult;

                 Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo .CreateSpecificCulture(selectedLanguage);

                 Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo (selectedLanguage);

                 var dtfi = (DateTimeFormatInfo )Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.Clone();

                 Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat = dtfi;

                 Thread .CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat = dtfi;

             }

         }
