Is there another currency format string besides "C"? "C" seems to convert negative amounts like you'd see on a bank statement (e.g. $-10.67 shows up as ($10.67)). The guy here at work doesn't like to see .00 at the end of money so in a gridview I wrote for him I was just dropped the last three characters after I converted the values to .ToString("C"), but one negative value in the bunch breaks that logic.
View 7 RepliesWe have a large ASP.NET MVC project where all numbers output to the screen are formatted as currency (i.e. ToString("c"). However, negative numbers are showing up with ()'s. For example:
decimal d = -8.88m;
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("c"));
//outputs $(8.88)
This is a bit annoying to our users, particularly since there are in textboxes. We have a few thousand places where we send currency fields to the screen like this, so we'd love a way to change the formatting globally. Is there one? All the methods I've seen indicate that you have to create a new formatter, similar to this:
string curCulture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString();
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo currencyFormat =
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(curCulture).NumberFormat;
currencyFormat.CurrencyNegativePattern = 1;
We'd prefer not to change all of our ToString("c") methods ... is there a better way? My first thought was to just change our locale to Australia, but realized the date formatting would be screwed up.

I have project in development where string operations like "Hi " + variable + ", welcome to Project" are used at many places (given example is very minor one).
One of the requirement is to convert it to string.format style.
It is very long and tedious job, where I would not like to break earlier working code due to any human error might happen while converting it.
I would like to if any Macro or VS command which I can create to handle it. Just like we mark block of code and do Extract function in Re-factor options.

I have the following date in string format "2011-29-01 12:00 am" . Now I am trying to convert that to datetime format with the following code:
DateTime.TryParse(dateTime, out dt);
But I am alwayws getting dt as {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM} , Can you tell me why ? and how can I convert that string to date.
EDIT:
I just saw everybody mentioned to use format argument. I will mention now that I can't use the format parameter as I have some setting to select the custom dateformat what user wants, and based on that user is able to get the date in textbox in that format automatically via jQuery datepicker.
i have a select statement below. The result of r1- @r1 may be positive or negative.
i want it to always result as positive, so it is a negative number then it to show the same number as positive. can i do this?
e.g.
r1 = 7, @r1 = 4
r1 - @r1 = 3
but
if r1 = 5, @r1 = 6
r1 = @r1 = -1, but i want this to be 1, because i am trying to work out the difference between the two numbers.
can this be done within a select statement? my select statement is:
SELECT imageurl, (r1 - @r1) AS difference

View 3 RepliesI'm not sure why my label text is not formatting to currency.
Here is my code:
[Code]....
It shows the sum result but in decimal format like 123.123, I want to show it like $123,123.00
It seems that sometimes the currency format does not work:
string Amount = "11123.45";
Literal2.Text = string.Format("{0:c}", Amount);
reads 11123.45
it should be:
$11,123.45

I have a gridview that I am populating with data for the folks in accounting and they want me to format currency values so that they display without $'s, with commas separating digits and with negative numbers surrounded by ( )
e.g.:
12345.67 = 12,345.67
-12345.67 = (12,345.67)
I have found lots of examples around the interwebs that get me close but there is either no ( ) around negatives or there is a $ included.
I have a label in a gridview which does a calc and works great however it does not format currency as expected. The label takes the bound value of QTY and multiples with the bound value of PRICE that is wrapped in a function to get a gross price.

View 2 RepliesI have searched and found various methods for formatting as a string decimal values but cant fine one which covers all my needs. I have to display a decimal value (a financial money figure) i.e. 2500.75
However I do not require any leading currency symbol such as $ or £ and the main point I am struggling with is that when the value has no value after the decimal do not display zeros. I thought
Code:
.ToString(".##")
was meeting my requirements initiall but then realized if someone put the value 7.4 in it was displayed as 7.4 when it should be displayed as 7.40.
I have also tried
Code:
<%# String.Format("{0:0.##}", DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Amount"))%>
But this seems to have no effect at all.
And in addition
Code:
<%# String.Format("{0:0.C}", DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Amount"))%>
Always displays the two decimals even when zero.
I use to display the amount using this code
Code:
Label1.Text = dr["Amount"].ToString();
But how can it display it with currency format? or like this: "$100.00"?
