Hello,

I Wanted to Convert Devanagari Numbers to Numbers and vice-verse,
I'm using following

C#

public static string ToNumberString(string num)
{
    string[] devNumbers = { "१", "२", "३", "४", "५", "६", "७", "८", "९", "०" };
    string[] numbers = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0" };
    string strReplaced = num;


    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < devNumbers.Length; i++)
    {
        strReplaced = strReplaced.Replace(devNumbers[i], numbers[i]);
    }
    return strReplaced;
}

public static string ToDevnagariNumberString(string num)
{
    string[] devNumbers = { "१", "२", "३", "४", "५", "६", "७", "८", "९", "०" };
    string[] numbers = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0" };
    string strReplaced = num;


    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < devNumbers.Length; i++)
    {
        strReplaced = strReplaced.Replace(numbers[i], devNumbers[i]);
    }
    return strReplaced;
}

Well, the code above works fine,

Is there a way to use above code to display and use Devanagari Numbers in DateTimePicker or any workaround for same,
also I'm using Numbers converted to Devanagari Numbers in DataGridView, how to convert them to Numbers and SORT and convert back to Devanagari Numbers

Can't answer your first point, but on the sorting could you load the equivalent converted numbers to a non-visible column in the DataGridView and sort on that column rather than the Devanagari displayed column

Hi Here is an elegant way of doing it.

C#

private Dictionary<int, string> m_devanagari;

public void InitialiseDevanagari()
{
    m_devanagari = new Dictionary<int, string>();

    int count = 1;
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "१");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "२");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "३");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "४");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "५");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "६");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "७");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "८");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "९");
    m_devanagari.Add(count++, "०");
}

public int GetNumberFromDevanagari(string devanagariNumber)
{
    var result = m_devanagari.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Value.Equals(devanagariNumber));
    return result.Key;
}

public string GetDevanagariFromNumber(int number)
{
    var result = m_devanagari.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Key.Equals(number));
    return result.Value;
}

private void populateDataGrid()
{
    var devanagariArray = from row in m_devanagari select new { Number = row.Key, Devanagari = row.Value };
    dataGridView1.DataSource = devanagariArray.ToArray();
}

To use this on the DateTime picker, you may have to owner draw the individual date boxes, have look at this link below.

I hope this helps.

Hi
Yes That's correct, I missed that "0" bit out. Regarding the calendar, then you may have to owner draw. See this article
