[RESOLVED]How to display an int 1234 to 1,234, in Controller action?

Web Forms

Hi,

I’m working on a MVC app, using c#. Is there a simple, existing function or routine to display a number and add , for every 3 digits?

I mean: if I have an int x; if x is 1234, then I want to display it as "1,234"; if x is 37891034, I want to display it as "37,891,034".

What is a simple way to do this? I will display this in a string, write it in a session var – just point this out.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,

Claudia

You can use the The Numeric ("N") Format Specifier. format to add comma separator for your number like given below

String.Format("{0:n0}", Convert.ToInt32("YourNumberHere"))

Sample Code

String.Format("{0:n0}", Convert.ToInt32("37891034"))  //Outputs 37,891,034

Thanks so much A2H! This is exactly what I was looking for :-)

Appreciate it,

You are welcome and Glad to be of help

i think it’s better to fix it in Model if you use Codefirst 

like this 

  public decimal Debtor { get; set; }
        [Display(Name = "total")]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:N0}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = false)]
