How to get Code Page by Language-Culture?

Question

Hello Community!

Does anyone aware of C# API to accept Language-Culture and return corresponding Code Page? For instance, if I call

MagicClass.GetCodePage("ru-RU")

I would get

1251

If this was answered before, please drop me a link.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

new CultureInfo("ru-Ru").TextInfo.ANSICodePage

Answer 2

The TextInfo class (accessible via CultureInfo.TextInfo) contains code pages:

CultureInfo cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("ru-RU");
Console.WriteLine(cultureInfo.TextInfo.ANSICodePage); // 1251

It sounds like you want ANSI code pages, but you can also get Mac, OEM, and EBCDIC versions.
