How to add commas to numbers! 1

[autumnEND]

Hi, is there a way to add commas to numbers. Maybe a regular expression. Which would make numbers easier to read.

for example:

111222333 to 111,222,333
12345 to 12,345
123 unchanged

Any help would be greatly appreciated .I cant seem to find a solution. Thanks in advance .

A couple options I can think of...

1. if you're outputting using .ToString() then you can use a formatting string.

2. if you are displaying a number using something like a datagrid then you will want to set the current culture info manually to a culture that includes the , by default.

If you use option #1 - I recommend writing a simple class that has a static tonumberstring method such as:

public static string tonumberstring(int num)


Enjoy googling - also check out the msdn.microsoft.com site for formatting strings.

Use the formatting string -- if you use one of the predefined numeric formatting strings, you'll get cultural independence as a side-benefit.

autumnEND,

You could use a float and then use a mask to output it like:

float myAmount = 1000000;
myAmount.ToString("#,##0.00;#,##0.00;0");
