Hi what is the best way to format a decimal amount to string for ui display in the correct culture info?
Many Thanks

A:
use:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US", false);

Which will only work if the CurrentCulture is en-US ...

A:
Add a format to the ToString: myDecimal.ToString("#.00") or myDecimal.ToString("C").

nHibernate property was Decimal? therefoer the format option was not available on toString method. Now creating decimal variable and using your answer and works a treat. cheers!

if it's a Nullable<decimal> then you could either user the .Value property or cast to decimal (if you are sure it's not null)

A:
Why not decimalVar.ToString("F2", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);. For format strings (the "F2" part) and what they do, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings
