Constructor Currency

Currency(string, int, string, string?)

Initializes a new instance of the Currency class without localization.

Declaration

public Currency(string currencyCode, int decimalDigits, string name, string? symbol = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	currencyCode	The unique currency code of the currency, typically the three letter ISO code, i.e. "USD".
int	decimalDigits	The number of decimal digits that is standard for the currency.
string	name	The name of the currency, i.e. "Dollars".
string	symbol	The currency symbol, i.e. "$". The currency code is used as the symbol if the symbol is not provided.

Remarks

NOTE: Currency codes and symbols are not validated as parsable to allow this library to be used for a wide range of usages (such as defining cryptocurrencies, some of which do conform to ISO 4217 standards that ensure values can be reliably parsed). If you create a currency that contains unparsable symbols/codes, then any parsing operations that depend on the offending symbol/code will throw an InvalidOperationException. See IsSymbolOrCodeParsable(string, out string?) for more information on this topic.

Currency(string, int, ICurrencyLocalizer)

Initializes a new instance of the Currency class using the specified localizer to provide localized currency names and symbols.

Declaration

public Currency(string currencyCode, int decimalDigits, ICurrencyLocalizer localizer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	currencyCode	The unique currency code of the currency, typically the three letter ISO code, i.e. "USD".
int	decimalDigits	The number of decimal digits that is standard for the currency.
ICurrencyLocalizer	localizer	The currency localizer implementation that provides localized names and symbols for the currency.
