My application allows the user to capture a numeric value. In the context I do not know whether they are capturing a currency value or some other numeric amount. I need to cater for different decimal separators and grouping separators, but which should I choose from the CultureInfo?
Does anyone know in what circumstances the NumberDecimalSeparator and CurrencyDecimalSeparator are likely to be different?
This is pretty easy to check for predefined cultures:
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
foreach (var culture in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures))
{
var formatInfo = culture.NumberFormat;
if (formatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator !=
formatInfo.CurrencyDecimalSeparator)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1} {2}",
culture,
formatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator,
formatInfo.CurrencyDecimalSeparator);
}
}
}
}
