Question

I am formatting a gridview templatefield that is databound with{0:c} and it displays currency as such:

$790.00

Is there a way to adjust it so the dollar symbol isn’t displayed?

Answer 1

You simply need to change your format specifier to ‘f’. Here’s an example:

    double foo = 790f;
    string bar = string.Format("{0:f}", foo);

Output

790.00

Shame on you for not looking this up 😀
