string format money , [duplicate]

I need to display a number with commas and a decimal point.
Eg:
Case 1 : Decimal number is 432324 (This does not have commas or decimal points).
Need to display it as: 432,324.00.
Not: 432,324
Case 2 : Decimal number is 2222222.22 (This does not have commas).
Need to display it as: 2,222,222.22
I tried ToString("#,##0.##"), but it is not formatting it correctly.

int number = 1234567890;
number.ToString("#,##0.00");
You will get the result 1,234,567,890.00.

Maybe you simply want the standard format string "N", as in
number.ToString("N")
It will use thousand separators, and a fixed number of fractional decimals. The symbol for thousands separators and the symbol for the decimal point depend on the format provider (typically CultureInfo) you use, as does the number of decimals (which will normally by 2, as you require).
If the format provider specifies a different number of decimals, and if you don't want to change the format provider, you can give the number of decimals after the N, as in .ToString("N2").
Edit: The sizes of the groups between the commas are governed by the
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSizes
array, given that you don't specify a special format provider.

Try with
ToString("#,##0.00")
From MSDN
*The "0" custom format specifier serves as a zero-placeholder symbol. If the value that is being formatted has a digit in the position where the zero appears in the format string, that digit is copied to the result string; otherwise, a zero appears in the result string. The position of the leftmost zero before the decimal point and the rightmost zero after the decimal point determines the range of digits that are always present in the result string.
The "00" specifier causes the value to be rounded to the nearest digit preceding the decimal, where rounding away from zero is always used. For example, formatting 34.5 with "00" would result in the value 35.*

I had the same problem. I wanted to format numbers like the "General" format in spreadsheets, meaning show decimals if they're significant, but chop them off if not. In other words:
1234.56 => 1,234.56
1234 => 1,234
It needs to support a maximum number of places after the decimal, but don't put trailing zeros or dots if not required, and of course, it needs to be culture friendly. I never really figured out a clean way to do it using String.Format alone, but a combination of String.Format and Regex.Replace with some culture help from NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo did the job (LinqPad C# Program).
string FormatNumber<T>(T number, int maxDecimals = 4) {
return Regex.Replace(String.Format("{0:n" + maxDecimals + "}", number),
#"[" + System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator + "]?0+$", "");
}
void Main(){
foreach (var test in new[] { 123, 1234, 1234.56, 123456.789, 1234.56789123 } )
Console.WriteLine(test + " = " + FormatNumber(test));
}
Produces:
123 = 123
1234 = 1,234
1234.56 = 1,234.56
123456.789 = 123,456.789
1234.56789123 = 1,234.5679

Try with
ToString("#,##0.###")
Produces:
1234.55678 => 1,234.556
1234 => 1,234

For Razor View:
$#string.Format("{0:#,0.00}",item.TotalAmount)

CultureInfo us = new CultureInfo("en-US");
TotalAmount.ToString("N", us)

Your question is not very clear but this should achieve what you are trying to do:
decimal numericValue = 3494309432324.00m;
string formatted = numericValue.ToString("#,##0.00");
Then formatted will contain: 3,494,309,432,324.00

All that is needed is "#,0.00", c# does the rest.
Num.ToString("#,0.00"")
The "#,0" formats the thousand separators
"0.00" forces two decimal points

If you are using string variables you can format the string directly using a : then specify the format (e.g. N0, P2, etc).
decimal Number = 2000.55512016465m;
$"{Number:N}" #Outputs 2,000.55512016465
You can also specify the number of decimal places to show by adding a number to the end like
$"{Number:N1}" #Outputs 2,000.5
$"{Number:N2}" #Outputs 2,000.55
$"{Number:N3}" #Outputs 2,000.555
$"{Number:N4}" #Outputs 2,000.5551

string Mynewcurrency = DisplayIndianCurrency("7743450.00");
private string DisplayIndianCurrency(string EXruppesformate)
{
string fare = EXruppesformate;
decimal parsed = decimal.Parse(fare, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
CultureInfo hindi = new CultureInfo("en-IN");
// string text = string.Format(hindi, "{0:c}", parsed);if you want <b>Rs 77,43,450.00</b>
string text = string.Format(hindi, "{0:N}", parsed); //if you want <b>77,43,450.00</b>
return ruppesformate = text;
}

For anyone looking at this now, and getting the "No overload for method 'ToString' takes 1 argument" when using:
TotalNumber.ToString("N")
My solution has been to use :
TotalNumber.Value.ToString("N")
I often get stuck on this when working directly inside an MVC View, the following wasn't working:
#Model.Sum(x => x.Number).ToString("N")
Whereas this works:
#Model.Sum(x => x.Number).Value.ToString("N")

Add numeric strings in C# and preserve formating

I have an issue where I need to add two numeric strings "$1,234.56" and "$9,876.54" and get a string "$11,111.10"
I can convert the strings to numbers, perform the addition, but I don't know of a good way to preserve the formatting when I ToString() the result. I can add a couple of if statements along the lines: does the input have dollar sign, decimal point, percent sign and construct the format string accordingly, but this is clunky and will fail if we ever need to support more than one number format.
Does anyone know how to add numeric strings and preserve formatting?
EDIT: To answer the questions. The format of all strings being added at a given time is the same ie: I don't need to worry about adding $ and £ (in fact £ is not currently supported), However, there are several possible formats that are currently supported and more may be added in the future:
$1,234.00; $1,234; 1234; 1,234; 1,234.00; 1234%; 1,234%; 1,234.00%

I would suggest using the first numeric string as a template and create a number format from it:
var posshalves = firstNumericString.Split('.');
var fmthalves = new string[2] { posshalves[0], (posshalves.Length < 2 ? "" : "."+posshalves[1])};
var intfmt = Regex.Replace(fmthalves[0], #"[0-9]", "#");
intfmt = Regex.Replace(intfmt, #"#+", "#");
var decfmt = Regex.Replace(fmthalves[1], "[0-9]", "0");
var format = $"{intfmt}{decfmt}";

Fails when convert a number, reformat it to string in C#

I have a bug in my website when display salary.
If number insert < 1000$. It will show result like 0,x00.
Example:
user inserts to admin page salary: 800$. It will show like 0,800$.
If salary > 1000$, it shows correct.
My function to GetSalary() like:
public string GetSalary(object SalaryFrom, object SalaryTo)
{
return "$" + Protector.Int(SalaryFrom).ToString("0,000") + " - " + Protector.Int(SalaryTo).ToString("0,000");
}

Use ToString() by this way:
.ToString("#,000")

You can use the following format string to display a number with a maximum of 2 decimal places:
String.Format("{0:0.##}", 123.4567); // "123.46"
See Using String Format to show decimal upto 2 places or simple integer

0 in a format string means "absolutely show this digit". It sounds like you want something like this instead:
ToString("#,##0")
# means "a digit that might not be present".
Of course, this will still only show the thousands separator for thousands, and not millions. Another option might be using one of the pre-defined number formats - for example ToString("c") which will use the current culture's currency format (e.g. £1,234.00 for United Kingdom).

Try this code:
public string GetSalary(object SalaryFrom, object SalaryTo)
{
return "$" + #String.Format("{0:N}", SalaryFrom.ToString()) + " - " + #String.Format("{0:N}", SalaryTo.ToString());
}

Remove decimal from currency

I am converting data for an export.
The file shows data in cents, not dollars.
So 1234.56 needs to be printed as 123456
Is there a way to do that with string.Format?
Or is the only solution to multiply by 100?

You can use string.Replace(".", string.empty). But that isn't exactly localized. You could add in cases where you check for "," as well for international currency. But that's what I would do.
[Edit]
Also just found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx
The "N" numeric specifier allows you to change the symbol used to separate whole number and decimal parts.
<code>
decimal num = 123.456m;
NumberFormatInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat;
ci.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = " "; // You can't use string.Empty here, as it throws an exception.
string str = num.ToString("N", ci).Replace(" ", string.Empty);
</code>
Something like that should do the trick, and is localized!

That's a rendering issue. Certainly multiplying by 100 to get cents will do the job.
The United States uses the decimal point to separate dollars from cents. But not all countries do that. Your "multiply by 100" solution is only correct for currencies that use 100 fractional units to represent a single whole. (Not the case in Japan for yen.)

If it is that simple, just do String.Replace('.','');

if you know that the values will always have 2 Decimal Positions then do this it's very simple
var strVar = 1234.56;
var somevalues = string.Format("{0:######}", strVar * 100);
output = 123456

how to format data

I am getting the following values from database:
99, 12, 12.2222, 54.98, 56, 17.556
Now I want to show that values like below:
99%, 12%, 12.22% , 54.98% , 56%, 17.55%
Please give me any suggestion to acchive this.

Its very easy in C#:
[EDIT]
var val = 99.569;
string result = string.Format("{0:0.##}%", val);
You can take a look for Format method of string class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fht0f5be.aspx
and I recomend you to take a look on custom format strings:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx

Use the ToString method that takes a string format - the format you want is "P2" or the custom format #0.##%. Both of these formatting options multiply by 100, expecting your data to be in standard percent format so you will need to divide to accomadate and use it.
To use ToString without the divide you can use "#0.##\%" which will format the numeric part and include the percent sign as a literl, this is the equivilent for ToString as the format from Anton Semenov's answer using the string.Format function on this thread.
Msdn article - Standard Formats
Msdn article - Custom Formats

to formart 12.2222 use f
string.Format("{0:f}%", 12.2222); //output 12,22%

Try this Out
List<double> myList = new List<double>();
myList.Add(0.1234);
myList.Add(99);
myList.Add(12.1234);
myList.Add(54.98);
foreach (double d in myList)
{
string First = string.Format("{0:0.00%}", d); //Multiply value by 100
Console.WriteLine(First);
string Second = string.Format("{0:P}", d);//Multiply value by 100
Console.WriteLine(Second);
string Third = string.Format("{0:P}%", d.ToString());//Use this One
Console.WriteLine(Third);
string Four = d.ToString() + "%"; //Not a good idea but works
Console.WriteLine(Four);
Console.WriteLine("=====================");
}
Console.ReadLine();
I have made a little trick here {0:P} will multiply your given value by 100 and then show it but you just want to place a % sign after value so first convert the given value to TOString than apply {0:p}

If you want to specify the number of decimal places to 2 (ie. not 12.2222%, but 12.22%), then use:
val.ToString("0.00") + "%"
Note that this will round the number off, so 12.226 would be shown as 12.23%, etc.
