Hi David,
It's not working at all for me, even when I put in a static
value as both string and number:
lblProductId.Text = system.string.Format("Formatted
currency:{0:c}","29.99")
lblProductId.Text = system.string.Format("Formatted currency:
{0:c}",29.99)
Can you help?
Thanks

YUK! Again...
IMHO, you want to stay away from functions in Microsoft.VisualBasic
namespace since it IS merely A wrapper for the base Dot.Net
namespaces/classes

Yes it is C# "code", but the function is not C#. It is a member of the
System.String class. Here is a VB.Net example:
Dim s As System.String = _
System.String.Format("Formatted currency: {0:c}", myVal)

Is that a VB or C++/C# function? I notice the semicolon at the end of
the line.
I am programming in VB. Sorry that I omitted that, I forget that ASP
has multiple languages.

System.String.Format() is the next best thing since sliced bread...
System.String s = System.String.Format(
"Formatted currency: {0:c}", myVal);

Hi everyone -
I'm developing my first application in ASP.NET (I never used
Original ASP at all). I have a price that I am bringing out of the
database as currency and I am putting the value into a label using
label.text = table.price. Is there a function or something that I can
use to format this label with dollar sign and decimal?
Thanks,
