Format Label output

Accepted answer

Well, not all cultures use a comma as the thousands separator. For example, the Italian culture uses a dot.

So, if I mimic this culture:

var ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("it-IT");

label1.Text = double.Parse(label1.Text, ci).ToString("N0", ci);

I get "1.234" instead of "1,234".

To see whether there's any mileage in this idea, you could try running the above code with en-US replacing it-IT.

Hi Vulpes,

Culture?

Maybe that's where the issue could be, as my form is just set to default language in VS.

Do I need to set the culture in my code somewhere?

Even if I use the "C" format it appears like so: £1.234 instead of the expected £1,234

If I start with label1.Text = "1234", then the following line:

label1.Text = double.Parse(label1.Text).ToString("N0");

changes it, as expected, to "1,234".

Which culture are you using here?
