Example

The following example demonstrates the effects of different NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern property values.

C# Example

using System; using System.Globalization; class Test { public static void Main() { NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo(); decimal myMoney = 9999999999999.00m; for (int i = 0; i<=3; i++) { nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = i; Console.WriteLine("pattern # {0}: {1}",i,myMoney.ToString("C",nfi)); } } }

The output is

pattern # 0: $9,999,999,999,999.00
pattern # 1: 9,999,999,999,999.00$
pattern # 2: $ 9,999,999,999,999.00
pattern # 3: 9,999,999,999,999.00 $
