enumerate iso currency codes

[Eric]

I know this is a property of the RegionInfo class. I figure somewhere in the
framework is the actual enumeration, which I would like to use.

I want to use it to support a Money class I need, along the lines of Fowler,
which would have an attribute of Currency.

Any help much appreciated.

Are you asking if there is an enum that represents the different currencies
around the world? I haven't used currencies in any form in dot net but I
would be very suprised if this was an enum. An enum would not be used for
something that is not really that static.

RegionInfo ri = new RegionInfo("en-US");
string usIsoCurrencySymbol = ri.ISOCurrencySymbol; <---- usIsoCurrencySymbol
= "USD"

The snippet above shows the property I'm looking for, although I could have
gotten the symbol ("$") and other useful info the same way. I'm starting to
suspect it might be in an xml file somewhere.

Thanks,
Eric
