Question

I know I can format strings using the String.Format() method. Is it possible to format like this?

Example:

string: 1568
formatted: 1.568

string: 168794521
formatted: 168.794.521

string: 987
formatted: 987

Sorry that I can’t make myself more clear.

Answer 1

string someNumericValue = "168794521";
int number = int.Parse(someNumericValue); // error checking might be appropriate
value.ToString("0,0", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("el-GR"));

This will put points in for thousand specifiers.

It’s possible that if you want this, your culture may already do this.
