User · Answer

Your returned format will be limited by the return type you declare   So yes  you can declare the property as a string and return the formatted value of something   In the  get  you can put whatever data retrieval code you need   So if you need to access some numeric value  simply put your return statement as       private decimal  myDecimalValue   15 78m      public string MyFormattedValue               get   return  myDecimalValue ToString  c              private set     makes this a  read only  property

You can create an extension method  I find this to be a good practice as you may need to lock down a currency display regardless of the browser setting  For instance you may want to display  5 000 00 always instead of 5 000 00     CanadaProblems   public static class DecimalExtensions       public static string ToCurrency this decimal decimalValue                return    decimalValue C

A decimal type can not contain formatting information   You can create another property  say FormattedProperty of a string type that does what you want

Below would also work  but you cannot put in the getter of a decimal property   The getter of a decimal property can only return a decimal  for which formatting does not apply   decimal moneyvalue   1921 39m   string currencyValue   moneyvalue ToString  C

Properties can return anything they want to  but it s going to need to return the correct type   private decimal  amount   public string FormattedAmount       get   return string Format   0 C     amount         Question was asked    what if it was a nullable decimal   private decimal   amount   public string FormattedAmount       get                return  amount    null    null    string Format   0 C     amount Value
