  set Currency Symbol as AED

  Aug 15, 2006 03:29 AM|cabby|LINK

  Hi,

  I would like to be able to set my currency symbol to AED (United Arab Emirates Dirhams).

  This is not listed in the globalization culture info (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemGlobalizationCultureInfoClassTopic.asp)

  The site is written in English, the only thing I want to change is the $ sign to AED.

  Can anyway advise of how to write a function to do this, and where to put it?

  I am using Visual Studio and VB.

  Thanks

  Clare

  Try the link below for code sample from Microsoft doing the changes you need for other countries.  Sorry but the code is in C#.  Hope this helps.

  Hi,

  Thanks for that but I havent been able to figure out how to do it from that site.

  I have removed the currency symbol using {0:f2} and then set in column headings in the table "Cost in AED".

  If anyone knows how this can be done properly with a code example would appreciate it.

  Thanks

  Hi Cabby,

  I have found what I think could work for you because the formatting is similar to DateTime and I know that works.  Try the links below for details.
