format property in class to return phone number

Question

Is it possible to format what I have below to return a phone number?

private string _Phone;
    [DataMember]
    public string Value
    {
        get { return String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", Int64.Parse(_Phone)); }
        set { _Phone = value; }
    }

Answer 1

You could use String.Format if you convert the string to a long first.

String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", Int64.Parse("8005551212"))
