I want to get writing direction of any culture that user select in my application. for example I want to get rtl when my user use fa-IR culture and get ltr when en-US is selected.

Is there a built-in solution for this in .NET?

Use the TextInfo.IsRightToLeft property to determine this:

bool isRightToLeft = new CultureInfo("fa-IR").TextInfo.IsRightToLeft;

See MSDN for details.
