[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets the currency symbol associated with the country/region.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
For example, the currency symbol for the United States is "$".
If the current RegionInfo object is created with a specific culture and more than one language is used in the corresponding country/region, the CurrencySymbol property returns the currency symbol associated with the specific culture.
The following code example displays the properties of the RegionInfo class.
Imports System.Globalization Public Class Example Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) ' Displays the property values of the RegionInfo for "US". Dim myRI1 As New RegionInfo("en-US") outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" Name: {0}", myRI1.Name) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" DisplayName: {0}", myRI1.DisplayName) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" EnglishName: {0}", myRI1.EnglishName) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" IsMetric: {0}", myRI1.IsMetric) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" TwoLetterISORegionName: {0}", myRI1.TwoLetterISORegionName) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" CurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1.CurrencySymbol) & vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format(" ISOCurrencySymbol: {0}", myRI1.ISOCurrencySymbol) & vbCrLf End Sub End Class ' This example produces the following output. ' Name: US ' DisplayName: United States ' EnglishName: United States ' IsMetric: False ' TwoLetterISORegionName: US ' CurrencySymbol: $ ' ISOCurrencySymbol: USD
