How can I format decimal property to currency?

Below would also work, but you cannot put in the getter of a decimal property. The getter of a decimal property can only return a decimal, for which formatting does not apply.

decimal moneyvalue = 1921.39m; 
string currencyValue = moneyvalue.ToString("C");

Properties can return anything they want to, but it's going to need to return the correct type.

private decimal _amount;

public string FormattedAmount
{
    get { return string.Format("{0:C}", _amount); }
}

Question was asked... what if it was a nullable decimal.

private decimal? _amount;

public string FormattedAmount
{
    get
    {
         return _amount == null ? "null" : string.Format("{0:C}", _amount.Value);
    }
}  

Try this;

  string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-SG", false), "{0:c0}", 123423.083234);

It will convert 123423.083234 to $1,23,423 format.
