   • Syncfusion.Tools.Windows
   • Syncfusion.Grid.Base
   • Syncfusion.Grid.Windows
   • Syncfusion.Shared.Base
   • Syncfusion.Shared.Windows

Adding CurrencyEdit control via code

1. Create a C# or VB application using Visual Studio.

2. Add the following assembly references to the project:

   • Syncfusion.Tools.Base
   • Syncfusion.Tools.Windows
   • Syncfusion.Grid.Base
   • Syncfusion.Grid.Windows
   • Syncfusion.Shared.Base
   • Syncfusion.Shared.Windows

3. Include the required namespace.

   C#

   using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools;

   VB.NET

   Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools

4. Create an instance of the CurrencyEdit control, and add it to form.

   C#

   CurrencyEdit currencyEdit1 = new CurrencyEdit();
   this.Controls.Add(currencyEdit1);

   VB.NET

   Dim currencyEdit1 As New CurrencyEdit()
   Me.Controls.Add(currencyEdit1)

1. Set the currency value using the Text property, and change the culture using the Culture property of currency symbol.

   C#

   // Set currency value.
   currencyEdit1.TextBox.Text = "$2.00";
      
   // To change the culture.
   currencyEdit1.TextBox.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ksh-DE");

   VB.NET

   ' Set currency value.
   currencyEdit1.TextBox.Text = "$2.00"
      
   ' To change the culture.
   currencyEdit1.TextBox.Culture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ksh-DE")
