currency formatting

[Guest]

hey all,
i have a currency value in the form of a string:

double salary;

i'm binding to formview with the following format:

Eval("$AvgIndianSalary", "{0:$ #,#.##")

but when the value is 0 nothing but the dollar sign appears. how can i make
it where it looks like the following:

$0.00 or $0

thanks,
rodchar

rodchar,

I believe you can do this:

Eval("$AvgIndianSalary", "{0:$ #,0.00}")
