    Dim sCurrency As String =FormatCurrency(amount, TriState.True)

    will display with leading currency sign (according to your computor's regional setting) and 000's separators (according to your computor's regional setting)

    The foregoing, whilst believed to be correct, is given without guarantee as to it's accuracy and entirely without recourse. You are required to decide for yourself whether or not it is suitable for your purposes and no liability for loss of any nature can be entertained.

    Use CultureInfo class to get/specify current locale or use another's culture format . en stands for Language code and US for country .


    visual basic code:


    Dim curInfo AsNew CultureInfo("en-US")

    Dim f AsDecimal = 12354.54

    MessageBox.Show(f.ToString("C", curInfo))
