Solution 2

Format with Currency format string:

C#

=Format(Fields!Price.Value, "C")

It will give you 2 decimal places with "$" prefixed.

compared to FormatDateTime Good old 'Format' function makes the job a lot easier :

C#

Format(Fields!ResultDate.Value,"M/d/yyyy")
Format(Fields!ResultDate.Value,"yyyy")

how to avoid $ symbol

Two workarounds
A)
1. Kill the FormatCurrency Wrapper function in your expression.
2. Use the Format Property of the texbox instead..so Format might equal C2 (for currency with 2 decimal places of precision.
3. Set your Language to English (United Kingdom) - found in Properties, in the International group

B)
If you simply MUST have the FormatCurrency wrapper then do the following
1. Wrap that expression in a CDBL()...so CDBL(FormatCurrency(blah))
2. Follow 2 & 3 in the steps for option A
