How to get currency FRACTION name?

Question

If I know culture, can I know currency name and currency fraction name ?

In case of "en-US", it would be dollar & cent.

I am trying to avoid creation of mapping in database. I would be amazing if asp.net can provide this information... can it ?

PS: The ultimate goal is - given a double like 78.54, I want seventy eight dollars and fifty four cents. And I don't want to hard-code dollars & cents because this is supposed to be culture independent.

Answer 1

.Net lacks number spell-out and currency fraction names.

Answer 2

public static void Main() 
{
   RegionInfo ri = new RegionInfo("SE"); // Sweden

   Console.Clear();
   Console.WriteLine("Region English Name: . . . {0}", ri.EnglishName);
   Console.WriteLine("Native Name: . . . . . . . {0}", ri.NativeName);
   Console.WriteLine("Currency English Name: . . {0}", ri.CurrencyEnglishName);
   Console.WriteLine("Currency Native Name:. . . {0}", ri.CurrencyNativeName);
   Console.WriteLine("Geographical ID: . . . . . {0}", ri.GeoId);
}
/*
 This code example produces the following results:

 Region English Name: . . . Sweden
 Native Name: . . . . . . . Sverige
 Currency English Name: . . Swedish Krona
 Currency Native Name:. . . Svensk krona
 Geographical ID: . . . . . 221
