      ' Format a negative integer or floating-point number in various ways.
  Console.WriteLine("Standard Numeric Format Specifiers")
  s = String.Format("(C) Currency: . . . . . . . . {0:C}" & vbCrLf & _
                    "(D) Decimal:. . . . . . . . . {0:D}" & vbCrLf & _
                    "(E) Scientific: . . . . . . . {1:E}" & vbCrLf & _
                    "(F) Fixed point:. . . . . . . {1:F}" & vbCrLf & _
                    "(G) General:. . . . . . . . . {0:G}" & vbCrLf & _
                    "    (default):. . . . . . . . {0} (default = 'G')" & vbCrLf & _

                    - 123, - 123.45F)
  Console.WriteLine(s)

Answer 2

String.Format("{0:n}", 1234);

string.Format("{0:n0}", 9876); // no decimals.

Answer 3

string.format("{0:#,###,###.##}", MyNumber)

That will give you commas at the thousand, and millions point.

Answer 4

Note that the value that you're formatting should be numeric. It doesn't look like it will take a string representation of a number and format is with commas.

Answer 5

int number = 1000000000;
string whatYouWant = number.ToString("#,##0");
//You get: 1,000,000,000

Answer 6

int num = 98765432;
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0:#,#}", num));

Answer 7

you can use this code in javascript

function GetNumberWithQ(Price) {

    var myNumber = Price.toString(); // Price Is Your Namber Your Number 
       var myResult = "";
        for (var i = myNumber.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            myResult = myNumber[i] + myResult;
            if ((myNumber.length - i) % 3 == 0 & i > 0)
                myResult = "," + myResult;
        }

        return myResult;


}

Answer 8

I found this to be the simplest way: myString.ToString("N0")

Answer 9

if u want culture specific, you might want to try this.

(19950000.0).ToString("N",new CultureInfo("en-US")) = 19,950,000.00

(19950000.0).ToString("N",new CultureInfo("is-IS")) = 19.950.000,00

note: some cultures use , to mean decimal rather than . so becareful.
