You can get the ListSeparator by

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ListSeparator

Note that you get Metric or Imperial by

RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric

Also note on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.regioninfo.aspx

"The value of this property is based on the culture selected through
the regional and language options portion of Control Panel. However,
that information can change during the life of the AppDomain. The
RegionInfo class does not automatically detect changes in the system
settings, but the CurrentRegion property is updated when you call the
ClearCachedData method."


Example:

        public void LocalizationListSeparator()
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");
            Console.WriteLine("CultureInfo:\t" +
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("ListSeparator:\t" +
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ListSeparator);
            Console.WriteLine("RegionInfo:\t" +
RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("IsMetric:\t" +
RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric);

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("it-IT");
            Console.WriteLine("CultureInfo:\t" +
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("ListSeparator:\t" +
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ListSeparator);
            Console.WriteLine("RegionInfo:\t" +
RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("IsMetric:\t" +
RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric);
        }
