TeixeiraSoftware.Finance.Currency 4.0.1

A simple cross platform currency class library for .Net, that follows the ISO 4217 standard.

The implementation of this library is compatible with .Net Standard 2.0 (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard for details).

Usage

You can get a currency instance by three different ways:

• Calling a factory property, where XXX is the alphabetical ISO code of the currency:

var currency = Currency.XXX;

• Using the ByAlphabeticCode method, where, again, XXX is the alphabetical ISO code of the currency:

var currency = Currency.ByAlphabeticCode("XXX");

• Using the ByNumericCode method, where 999 is the three numbers ISO code of the currency:

// Note that the numeric code is a string
var currency = Currency.ByNumericCode("999");

Properties

The Currency class have four read only properties:

public struct Currency
{
    // The ISO name of the currency
    public string Name { get; }

    // The 3 letters ISO code of the currency
    public string AlphabeticCode { get; }

    // The numeric ISO code of the currency
    public string NumericCode { get; }

    // The ISO minor units of the currency
    public byte MinorUnits { get; }
}

Comparing currencies

The available comparison operators are == and !=. The .Equals method is available also.

// returns true
var areCurrenciesEquivalent = (Currency.XXX == Currency.XXX);

// returns false
var areCurrenciesEquivalent = (Currency.XXX != Currency.XXX);

Listing all the currencies

You can use the Currency.AllCurrencies property to get a list of all the currencies:

var allCurrencies = Currency.AllCurrencies;

foreach (var currency in allCurrencies)
{
    var currencyName = currency.Name;
    var currencyISOAlphabeticCode = currency.AlphabeticCode;
    var currencyISONumericCode = currency.NumericCode;
    var currencyMinorUnits = currency.MinorUnits;
}
