// This scenario uses the Windows.Globalization.NumberFormatting.CurrencyFormatter class // to format a number as a currency. // Determine the current user's default currency. var userCurrency = Windows.System.UserProfile.GlobalizationPreferences.currencies; // Numbers to be formatted. var wholeNumber = 12345; var fractionalNumber = 12345.67; // Currency formatter using the current user's preference settings for number formatting. var userCurrencyFormat = new Windows.Globalization.NumberFormatting.CurrencyFormatter(userCurrency); var currencyDefault = userCurrencyFormat.format(fractionalNumber); // Create a formatter initialized to a specific currency, // in this case US Dollar (specified as an ISO 4217 code) // but with the default number formatting for the current user. var currencyFormatUSD = new Windows.Globalization.NumberFormatting.CurrencyFormatter( "USD" ); var currencyUSD = currencyFormatUSD.format(fractionalNumber); // Create a formatter initialized to a specific currency. // In this case it's the Euro with the default number formatting for France. var currencyFormatEuroFR = new Windows.Globalization.NumberFormatting.CurrencyFormatter( "EUR" , [ "fr-FR" ], "FR" ); var currencyEuroFR = currencyFormatEuroFR.format(fractionalNumber); // Results for display. var results = "Fixed number (" + fractionalNumber + ")
" + "With user's default currency: " + currencyDefault + "
" + "Formatted US Dollar: " + currencyUSD + "
" + "Formatted Euro (fr-FR defaults): " + currencyEuroFR; I have copied this above from the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh965450.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/windows.globalization.numberformatting.currencyformatter.aspx
