I use the Euro symbol as the default currency in Windows.
When I attempted to use it in C# all I get is the ? symbol.

Any ideas

In what way did you attempt to use it? I'm guessing whatever you were doing was using an encoding other than Unicode.

I have tried the following program from Microsoft's site.
using System;
using System.Golbalizition;
public class TestClass {
public static void Main() {
int = 100;
CultureInfo x = new CultureInfo("en-IE");
Console.WriteLine( i.ToString("c",IE))
}
}
I still get ? instead of

The best way to post code samples in messageboards is to copy and paste. You can then remove the lines that are not pertinent. That avoids the situation that the person trying to offer assistance has to guess at what you meant to get your sample to even compile.

I'm assuming that the unnamed int in your code should be "i" and that the ToString method should have been passed x (the CultureInfo object) as the second parameter instead of IE (which I have no clue about). With those changes made, the correct symbol is printed to the console.

The en-IE is to get the Irish Euro
