How would I separate thousands with space in C#

Question

Assume I have the following decimal number that I have to format so that every thousand should be separated with a space:

 897.11 to 897.11
 1897.11 to 1 897         


        

Answer 1

Norwegian locale uses spaces as a separator, so if you were designing a website or application specifically for Norwegians, then you could use:

(123897.11).ToString("n",new CultureInfo("nb-NO"))

Which results in

"123 897,11"

Obviously, if you're not writing an application for the Norwegian market, then this would be a silly solution.
