Format A String As Currency In C

The system format string works like this: {0:C}

For example, the following code example:

Outputs the following:

Order Total: $1,921.39

It’s worth noting that you must pass in a numeric value to the String.Format statement. If you pass in a string value, it won’t format correctly. If your currency value is in a string, you need to convert it into a double first.
