It seems that sometimes the currency format does not work:
string Amount = "11123.45";
Literal2.Text = string.Format("{0:c}", Amount);
reads 11123.45
it should be:
$11,123.45
That code would never work – because Amount is a string, not a number. The currency format only applies to numbers.
For example:
(Note that using double for currencies is almost always a bad idea, as double can’t exactly represent many decimal numbers. Decimal is a more appropriate type for financial data.)
