Answer 1

Here is the extension method i wrote when working on my project

public static CultureInfo EnglishIndia = new CultureInfo("en-IN");
//To use the rupee symbol please change "en-IN" to "hi-IN"

public static String ToLocalFormat(this decimal value)
{
    return string.Format(Constants.EnglishIndia, "{0:#,0.00}", value);
}

To use it

decimal amount = 100000;
var decimal_as_string = amount.ToLocalFormat();

Answer 2

You can do it with CultureInfo class.

This is how you do it:

CultureInfo india = new CultureInfo("hi-IN");
string text = string.Format(india , "{0:c}", "320000"); // ₹ 3,20,000
