Imports System.Globalization
Public Module Example
Public Sub Demo(outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
' Create a read-write NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.
Dim numberInfo As NumberFormatInfo = DirectCast(NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone, _
NumberFormatInfo)
Dim value As Decimal = 1416.32d
' Assign each possible value to the CurrencyPositivePattern property.
For ctr As Integer = 0 to 3
numberInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern = ctr
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0,2}: {1}", ctr, _
value.ToString("C", numberInfo)) + vbCrLf
Next
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
