Is there a way in the .NET framework to determine Windows Regional Settings?
Items like Dimensions (CM or Inches), decimal symbol, digit grouping symbol,
time formats, date formats, etc.

I've done some digging, but come up empty.

Thanks

OK, I found it in System.Globalizaion (duh!):
NumberFormatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator, for the decimal symbol
NumberFormatInfo.NumberGroupSeparator, for the digit grouping symbol
RegionInfo.IsMetric, for CM (metric) versus Inches

Cheers
