Razor Format Decimal? value in view

Question

I'm currently working on an ASP.NET MVC 4.6 application. I try to format a Decimal? property to a correct string format.

My property looks like this:

public decimal? Amount{ get; set; }

The data from the database looks like this: 10000,99

My desired outpout should actually be: € 10.001

no decimal values and no , (comma) is allowed.

In my Razor view I currently use:

@String.Format("{0:N0}", Model.Amount)

This works almost fine, though I get this result: € 10 000 which is wrong unfortunately.

Do you know hot to solve this in ASP.NET MVC Razor? Desired output € 10.001

Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

String.Format() has an overload which accepts IFormatProvider . Simply pass the desired number format there:

var c = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(""); // create InvariantCulture
c.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ".";

var s = String.Format(c, "{0:N0}", 10000.99);
