  $ to £ - second time

  Jan 27, 2007 04:04 PM|LINK

  Hi,

   

  I have a problem and I am not able to resolve it at all. Problem is simple: I want to change the $ to £.

   

  Found here (http://forums.asp.net/thread/1393215.aspx) short info but I am not able to implement this line of code (<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB" />

  )  anywhere.

   

  Would you please in two sentence (and if possible in plain English) tell me what exactly I have to do to change the $ to £?

   

  Thank you very much for advice.

   

  Regards,

   

  Den

   

  PS. Everything else regarding Classifieds is absolutely great – I love it. Asp.net (with VWD, sql server, …) is great and very refreshing after years working on boring htm sites with dreamviewer, flash, frontpage,... This forum is also great help – THANK YOU GUYS/GIRLS.

  The currecny format is provided by FormatCurrency etc.

  Web Config Extract

   

  <configuration>

        <appSettings/>

        <connectionStrings/>

        <system.web>

      <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB" />

      <!--

              Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging

              symbols into the compiled page. Because this

              affects performance, set this value to true only

              during development.

   

              Visual Basic options:

              Set strict="true" to disallow all data type conversions

              where data loss can occur.

              Set explicit="true" to force declaration of all variables.

          -->

              <compilation debug="true" strict="true" explicit="true"/>

              <pages>

  …………

   

  Page Test

   

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

          Response.Write(FormatCurrency("12000", 2))

  End Sub
