Currency Formatting C# with Example
The "c" (or currency) format specifier converts a number to a string that represents a currency amount. string.Format("{0:c}", 112.236677) // $112.23 - defaults to system Precision Default is 2. Use c1, c2, c3 and so on to control precision. string.Format("{0:C1}", 112.236677) //$112.2 string.Format("{0:C3}", 112.236677) //$112.237 //$112.2367 string.Format("{0:C4}", 112.236677) string.Format("{0:C9}", 112.236677) //$112.236677000 Currency Symbol 1. Pass CultureInfo instance to use custom culture symbol. string.Format(new CultureInfo("de-DE"), "{0:c}", 112.236677); //112,24 € string.Format(new CultureInfo("hi-IN"), "{0:c}", 112.236677); //D112.24 string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0:c}", 112.236677); //$112.24 2. Use any string as currency symbol. Use NumberFormatInfo as to customize currency symbol. NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat; nfi = (NumberFormatInfo) nfi.Clone(); nfi.CurrencySymbol = "?"; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //?112.24 nfi.CurrencySymbol = "?%^&"; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //?%^&112.24 Position of Currency Symbol Use CurrencyPositivePattern for positive values and CurrencyNegativePattern for negative values. NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat; nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = 0; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //$112.24 - default nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = 1; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //112.24$ nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = 2; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //$ 112.24 nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = 3; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //112.24 $ Negative pattern usage is the same as positive pattern.

Custom Decimal Separator NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat; nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = 0; nfi.CurrencyDecimalSeparator = ".."; string.Format(nfi, "{0:C}", 112.236677); //$112..24
