I'm new to Visual Studio and I am having problems with the default currency
symbol.

The Regional and Language Options on my machine are set to English (United
Kingdom).

The International Settings under Tools->Options->Environment within Visual
Studio .Net are set to Same As Microsoft Office (Language Neutral).

When I use a format of C0 I get the Dollar Symbol ($) instead of the Pound
Symbol (£).

The only other option available under Tools->Options->Environment is English
(United States).  This option also produces the Dollar Symbol.

How can I set Visual Studio to use the Pound Symbol when formatting Currency?

Thanks in advance for any help.

After speaking to Microsoft, the problem was with the Language property on
the Report Object.

If you set this to English (United Kingdom) then C0 produces a £ instead of
a $.

For Information.  You can also set this to =User!Language to pick up the
default language options.
