'String.Format, Currency, Polish Złoty

I am developing an e-commerce administration panel in WPF. I would like to display currency values in PLN (Polish Złoty). Format {0:C} gives output in USD ($1.000). Is there a way to change this behaviour or do I have to write my custom format to accomplish this?

edit: Why this is so if my windows culture info and location are both set to Polish/Poland?

wpfformat


Solution 1:[1]

Try to pass CultureInfo in your String Format.

string money = String.Format(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("pl"), "{0:C}", 30.7m);
Console.WriteLine(money);

EDIT: if you are in WPF then this should do the trick:

this.Language = XmlLanguage.GetLanguage("pl");

or

FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage("pl")));

You sholud add only xml:lang="pl-PL" in your <Window> tag in MainWindows.xaml. Simple as that!
