format a number a specific way

[ralphtrent]

Hello I need to format int,12345678 as 1.23.45.678

What style can I use?

I have tried several and nothing is working

I do not want to have to style the string manually. I was hoping something like this would work:

string.Format("{0:#.##.##.###}", 12345678)

but it doesn't.


Thanks,
RalphTrent

OK I figured it out.

 Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0:0\\.00\\.00\\.000}", 12345678));

returns
[green]
1.23.45.678
[/green]

I guess i needed to escape the decimal points.
