Abbotware.Interop.Iso 5.0.141

Abbotware.Interop.Iso

Enum classes and metadata for the free ISO Standard Codes:

• ISO 4217 Currency codes
• ISO 3166 Country Codes

The underlying numeric value of the enum matches the numeric code of the ISO standard for the corresponding standard

Enums

the enums allow for strongly typed code that can use the enum type

var usd = Currency.USD;
var usa = Country.USA;

switch(curency) 
{
    case Currency.USD : 
        //...

    case Currency.CAD : 
        //...
}

Static Helpers

IsoHelpers.Country IsoHelpers.Currency

The static helpers can be used for parsing and metadata lookup

Parsing

The TryParse methods can be used to convert a string into the underlying typed enum

var myRecord = new Data()

//Country 3-Code
if (IsoHelpers.Country.TryParseAlpha3("USA"), out var country)) 
{
	myRecord.Country = country;
}

//Country 2-Code
if (IsoHelpers.Country.TryParseAlpha2("US"), out var country)) 
{
	myRecord.Country = country;
}

// Currency
if (IsoHelpers.Currency.TryParseAlpha3("USD"), out var currency)) 
{
	myRecord.Currency = currency;
}

Metadata Lookup

included in the lookup and static helpers are metadata classes that provide display name information and other properties for each object type.

var meta = IsoHelpers.Country[Country.USA];

Console.Write($"Name:{meta.Name} French Name:{meta.NameFrench} Alpha3:{meta.Alpha3} Alpha2:{meta.Alpha2}")
   

var meta = IsoHelpers.Currency[Currency.USD]
    
Console.Write($"Name:{meta.Name} Alpha:{meta.Alpha} MinorUnit:{meta.MinorUnit}")
