Question

I really cannot figure out how to format double/decimal value like that

12,123,123.78

Here is my html

@grid.GetHtml(
        tableStyle: "grid",
        headerStyle: "head",
        alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
        columns: grid.Columns(
                            grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Candy Bar", "Products", new { id = item.ChainID })),
                                       grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Per Capita", "ProductsByCategory", new { id = item.ChainID })),
                                 grid.Column("CinemaName", "Complejo"),
                                              grid.Column("TotalSum2", "Monto").Format(  ???? )
)

If I do this

grid.Column("TotalSum2", "Monto", format: (item) => item.TotalSum2.ToString("0:C"))

I get this:

270223:C

and this

"{0:n0}"

gives

{27022:n3}

SOLUTION:

grid.Column("TotalSum2", "Monto", format: (item) => item.TotalSum2.ToString("#,0.00"))

Answer 1

Have a look at CultureInfo and format strings.

grid.Column("TotalSum2", "Monto", format: (item) => item.TotalSum2.ToString("#,#"))
