Try the Currency Format Specifier ("C"). It automatically takes the current UI culture into account and displays currency values accordingly.
You can use it with either String.Format
or the overloaded ToString
method for a numeric type.
For example:
double value = 12345.6789;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C3", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("da-DK")));
// The example displays the following output on a system whose
// current culture is English (United States):
// $12,345.68
// $12,345.679
// kr 12.345,679
