Reading regional settings

Question
When exporting some data to an Excel workbook I am setting a custom number format for certain fields.
The problem is that the actual format string depends on the locale, for example "0.00" for English and "0,00" for Slovenian.
Is there any way to read the decimal delimiter from regional settings?
Solution
public static str currencyDecimalSeparator()
{
System.Threading.Thread t = System.Threading.Thread::get_CurrentThread();
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = t.get_CurrentCulture();
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo ni;
str delimiter;
ci.ClearCachedData();
ni = ci.get_NumberFormat();
delimiter = ni.get_CurrencyDecimalSeparator();
return delimiter;
}
