Numerical formatting using String.Format

Question

Are there any codes that allow for numerical formatting of data when using string.format?

Answer 1

Loads, stick string.Format into Google :-)

A quite good tutorial is at iduno

Answer 2

Yes, you could format it this way:

string.Format("Format number to: {0 : #.00}", number);
string.Format("Format date to: {0 : MM/dd/yyyy}", date);

Answer 3

There are a number. This MS site is probably the best place to look

Answer 5

As Keith said above. The most common one I use is currency:

String.Format("{0:c}", 12000);

Which would output £12,000.00
