Hi,
I am trying to display a currency value formated according to the current
culture in ASP.NET:
decimal x = 125345.54M;
string currencyString = String.Format("{0:c}",x);
what gets retured is 125,345.54 without the currency symbol of $
I checked and re-checked my regional settings and tried it on other PCs
without success...
When I put a breakpoint and view the following in the Immediate window I see
that the AnsiCurrencySymbol is null and the CurrencySymbol is "" for some
reason:
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat
{System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo}
System.Object: {System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo}
ansiCurrencySymbol: null
AnsiCurrencySymbol: null
CurrencyDecimalDigits: 2

I thought that the CurrentCultureInfo takes its information from the
regional settings of the PC...
Please help!
Thanks,
