Currency format for display

by

Try the Currency Format Specifier (“C”). It automatically takes the current UI culture into account and displays currency values accordingly.

You can use it with either String.Format or the overloaded ToString method for a numeric type.

For example:

decimal value = 12345.6789M; // Be sure to use Decimal for money values. Do not use IEEE-754 types such as float (System.Single) and double (System.Double) as they can only store approximate values.
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));

Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));

Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("da-DK")));

// The example displays the following output on a system whose
// current culture is English (United States):
//       $12,345.68
//       $12,345.679
//       kr 12.345,679
