Set currency format using Culture and Globalization

Question

I want to format currency at global level. For English currency format will display as $XXX,XXX.XX. If French then currency format will display as XXX.XXX,XX$. How would I set currency format using Culture and Globalization In C#?

Below is my C# code where I am setting the date format:

if (Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name.Equals("fr-CA") || Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name.Equals("en-CA"))
{
   var currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
   var culture = (CultureInfo)currentCulture.Clone();
   culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy/MM/dd";
   Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;                            
}

Answer 1

Use the NumberFormatInfo via CultureInfo.NumberFormat and there are various currency-related properties, including CurrencyDecimalSeparator and CurrencyPositivePattern.

It looks like you want a positive pattern of 1 - you'll have to look to work out which negative pattern you want.
