Does anyone know of a money type in .NET?

Question

Does anyone know of an already implemented money type for the .NET framework that supports i18n (currencies, formatting, etc)? I have been looking for a well implemented typ

Answer 1

I think you want to use the decimal data type, and use the appropriate overload for ToString().

CultureInfo current  = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
decimal myMoney = 99.99m;

//formats as money in current culture, like $99.99
string formattedMoney = myMoney.ToString("C", current);
