How can I format decimal property to currency?

Question

I want to format a decimal value as a currency value.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can use String.Format, see the code [via How-to Geek]:

decimal moneyvalue = 1921.39m;
string html = String.Format("Order Total: {0:C}", moneyvalue);
Console.WriteLine(html);
// Output: $1,921.39
