How do I convert string to Indian Money format?
Solution 1:
If fare
is any of int
, long
, decimal
, float
or double
then I get the expected output of:
₹ 12,34,567.00
.
I suspect your fare
is actually a string
; strings are not formatted by string.Format
: they are already a string: there is no value to format. So: parse it first (using whatever is appropriate, maybe an invariant decimal parse), then format the parsed value; for example:
// here we assume that `fare` is actually a `string`
string fare = "1234567";
decimal parsed = decimal.Parse(fare, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
CultureInfo hindi = new CultureInfo("hi-IN");
string text = string.Format(hindi, "{0:c}", parsed);
Edit re comments; to get just the formatted value without the currency symbol or decimal portion:
string text = string.Format(hindi, "{0:#,#}", value);
Solution 2:
Try this
int myvalue = 123456789;
Console.WriteLine(myvalue.ToString("#,#.##", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("hi-IN")));//output;- 12,34,56,789
