It depends on how it will be used. If you want to be non-culture-specific, then check out this article on CP: Culture Specific Number Formatting in ASP.NET[^]. The code is a console app.

If you are doing it for yourself, or the app is ignorant of it's culture, you can hard-format the output. See @Richard_MacCutchan solution.

Use the appropriate currency formatter, as described in the documentation: Standard numeric format strings | Microsoft Learn[^].

Gets very interesting depending on which culture. One of the most interesting is China/Japan - thousand separators is every 10000 or 1,0000.

The Indian system (crores and lakhs) is even weirder.

I was trying to find reference page for the old Coding Challenges that Chris use to run. It have a complete breakdown. Now I can only find the bookmark...

Yes, I am aware. I was referring to my research - the actual links are not there. They should be in a document with the project on one of my hard drives. I just need to locate it.
