How to find the codepage for a particular LCID ( language Identifier)

[venkat9200]

I need to find out how many bytes a particulat language text takes.
In my application i have a display limit for the unicode string.
So i need to find the no of bytes a particular language text takes and
truncate it to the my limit.

i found the CultureInfo class gives the information for a paricular
language id. But i cannot find any calss that gives the codepage(ANSI)
used for a particular LCID.

Even windows API functions to known the codepage for a particular LCID
will solve my problem

Please help me to solve this.

For a generic LCID use GetLocaleInfo with LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE
(LOCALE_IDEFAULTCODEPAGE for OEM).
For the current LCID is easier: GetACP (for ansi) and GetOEMCP (for oem)

But if your limit is for Unicode strings you should not care about code pages
(or I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do)
