How to bind all the currencies list to a dropdownlist in Asp.net ?

In the following example, I am explaining how to bind all the currencies list to a Dropdownlist in Asp.Net.

Step-1: Add a dropdownlist to your page(ddlCurrency).

Step-2: Add 'using System.Globalization;' namespace to your .aspx.cs.

Step-3: Write the following method to select currencies and bind to dropdownlist.

public void GetCurrenciesList()

        {

            foreach (CultureInfo item in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures))

            {

                if (item.IsNeutralCulture != true)

                {

                    RegionInfo region = new RegionInfo(item.LCID);

                    string CurrencyName = region.CurrencyEnglishName;

                    string CurrenctSymbol = region.ISOCurrencySymbol;

                    ListItem li = new ListItem(CurrencyName + "(" + CurrenctSymbol + ")", CurrenctSymbol);

                    //** To check whether the Currency has already been added to the list or not ***//

                    if (ddlCurrency.Items.Count > 0)

                    {

                        int i = 0;

                        foreach (ListItem Curr in ddlCurrency.Items)

                        {

                            if (Curr.Value.Trim().ToLower() == li.Value.Trim().ToLower())

                            {

                                i++;

                            }

                        }

                        if (i == 0)

                        {

                            ddlCurrency.Items.Add(li);

                        }

                    }

                        //***********************************************************************//

                    else

                    {

                        ddlCurrency.Items.Add(li);

                    }

                }

            }

            //*************** To sort the dropdownlist items alphabatically *************//

            List<ListItem> listCopy = new List<ListItem>();

            foreach (ListItem item in ddlCurrency.Items)

            {

                listCopy.Add(item);

            }

            ddlCurrency.Items.Clear();

            foreach (ListItem item in listCopy.OrderBy(item => item.Text))

            {

                ddlCurrency.Items.Add(item);

            }

            //**************************************************************************//

            ddlCurrency.Items.Insert(0, "Select");

        }

Step-4: Call this method whenever you required to bind your dropdownlist.
