RegionInfo.CurrencyNativeName Property

If the current RegionInfo object is created with a specific culture and more than one language is used in the corresponding country/region, the CurrencyNativeName property retrieves the currency name associated with the specific culture.

The value of this property depends on the language that is associated with a particular country/region. Therefore, if you intend to use the CurrencyNativeName property, you should instantiate the RegionInfo object by passing the RegionInfo(String) constructor a combined language and country/region code. For example, if a RegionInfo object is instantiated with a combined language and country/region code of "en-CA" for English (Canada), the value of its CurrencyNativeName property is "Canadian Dollar". If it is instantiated with a combined language and country/region code of "fr-CA" for French (Canada), the value of its CurrencyNativeName property is "Dollar canadien". Therefore, creating the RegionInfo object with only a country/region name ("CA" in this case) is not specific enough to distinguish the appropriate native currency name.

The following code example demonstrates the CurrencyNativeName property.

// This example demonstrates the RegionInfo.EnglishName, NativeName,  
// CurrencyEnglishName, CurrencyNativeName, and GeoId properties. 

using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Sample 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
    RegionInfo ri = new RegionInfo("SE"); // Sweden

    Console.Clear();
    Console.WriteLine("Region English Name: . . . {0}", ri.EnglishName);
    Console.WriteLine("Native Name: . . . . . . . {0}", ri.NativeName);
    Console.WriteLine("Currency English Name: . . {0}", ri.CurrencyEnglishName);
    Console.WriteLine("Currency Native Name:. . . {0}", ri.CurrencyNativeName);
    Console.WriteLine("Geographical ID: . . . . . {0}", ri.GeoId);
    }
}
/*
This code example produces the following results:

Region English Name: . . . Sweden
Native Name: . . . . . . . Sverige
Currency English Name: . . Swedish Krona
Currency Native Name:. . . Svensk krona
Geographical ID: . . . . . 221
