Answer 1

If you just have the currency symbol and the number of decimal places, you can use the following helper function, which respects the symbol/amount order, separators etc, only changing the currency symbol itself and the number of decimal places to display to.

public static string FormatCurrency(string currencySymbol, Decimal currency, int decPlaces)
{
    NumberFormatInfo localFormat = (NumberFormatInfo)NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone();
    localFormat.CurrencySymbol = currencySymbol;
    localFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits = decPlaces;
    return currency.ToString("c", localFormat);
}
