currency formatting

[sajitk]

Dear All,

I am making a project using ASP.Net and C#.

I have a text box where i enter the amount. What i want is that when the user goes to the next field, i want the amount to the formatted in the following way:

For example, if the entered amount is 100000; i want it to be formatted as
Rs. 1,00,000.00

This Rs. is for Indian Rupees. This can be US Dollors or Euro also.

Request your help please.

Thanks
Sajit

I would think you could use string.format for that.

If you are just trying to format as currency then a simple .ToString("c") will do the trick.

try this

int sample = 106070;
Console.WriteLi ne(String.Forma t("{0:0,000,000 }",sample));

Dear faelnefal

How will i show the value in the "sample" variable in a text box.

[faelnefal]

in windows form control there are things called "properties "
one of which is Text
you put
textBox1.Text = string.Format(" {0:c}",sample);

Dear faelnefal,

thanks for the earlier mail

Now suppose, if my sample has a value 12345, this format will display as 0,12,345.

What i need to tackle this. What i want is that a function that will tackle all of this.

Dear faelnefal,

When i use this function, a $ sign is preceeded everytime, is there a way i can change / remove this.

textBox1.Text = string.Format(" {0:c}",sample);
