Sticking a period in the middle of a string ;)

[eanatum]

How do I stick a period in the middle of a string?

I have an integer, for example 123456, and I need to display it as 1234.56 as in currency format. I've tried doing an x.ToString("0.00") but it adds a '.00' at the end (i.e. 123456.00) and x.ToString("#.##") doesn't seem to do anything at all. How is this done? Thanks in advance.

Ok I am sure there is an easier way but this should work!

int number = 12345;
string toFormat = number.ToString();
string finalnumber = toFormat.Substring(0,toFormat.Length-2);
finalnumber = finalnumber + "."+ toFormat.Substring(finalnumber.Length-1,toFormat.Length - (finalnumber.Length-1));
textBox1.Text = finalnumber;

Hope I could help with that,

	int val = 123456;
	string sVal = val.ToString();
	string formatted = sVal.Insert(sVal.Length - 2, ".");

Any of these will do that for you:

x.ToString( n2 );
x.ToString( N2 );
x.ToString( f2 );
x.ToString( F2 );

The help text for this is hidden under "Standard Numeric Format Strings" in MSDN...

I knew there are easier ways to do it!
