Question

I have encountered with a problem with pricing.
I need to format price input to be of the type XXXX.YY
the problem is, the input price can be of shape XXX,YY in europe or XX,XXX.YY if talking about big numbers.

Is there a JS or C# lib that helps there?

thanks

Answer 1

for American / British format:

Double.Parse("123,456.78", new CultureInfo("en-US"));

for German format:

Double.Parse("123.456,78", new CultureInfo("de-DE"));

Hint: If you are storing / reading data from file/Database etc. it is generally advisable to make use of CultureInfo.InvariantCulture
