Question

• How, for example, do I turn the number 10562.3093 into 10,562 in C#?
• Also, how do I ensure that same formatter will apply correctly to all other numbers?….
• …For example 2500.32 into 2,500

Help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

string formatted = value.ToString("N0");

This divides your number in the manner specified by the current culture (in the case of “en-US,” it’s a comma per multiple of 1000) and includes no decimal places.

The best place to look for any question regarding formatting numbers in .NET would have to be here:
