Regional settings

Hi guys,

How can I get the regional settings from any version of windows? I
searched over the internet but didn't find a good answer.

The meaning of this question is that I want to record a price in a
database in string format. When I retrieve this price and I convert it
to double, if the decimal symbol doesn't match the OS'decimal symbol,
then I get an error.

Then if I know this decimal symbol, I can format my price to fit with
OS'decimal symbol.

Maybe there is something easier that I don't know.

Thanks in advance.

Marty
