custom string currency

[Guest]

does anyone know how to produce the following
custom string for formatting currency inc the appropriate
currency symbol for the country

i could use String.Format("{0:C}", 2000)
which will return £2000.00
but i do not want to show the decimal place i.e
£2000
thanks

Have you tried creating a new NumberFormatInfo and setting
CurrencyDecimalDigits to 0 and setting the CurrencySymbol property
appropriately?

For example:

using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
NumberFormatInfo nfi = (NumberFormatInfo)
NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone();

nfi.CurrencySymbol = "#";
nfi.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;

Console.WriteLine (string.Format (nfi, "{0:C}", 15.25));
}
}

produces:

#15

is there a way that the currency symbol using numberformatinfo can be
extracted from windows settings otherwise i would of used
String.Format("{0:£#,##0;(£#,##0);0}", 2000.00);

Well, the code I gave before takes the current NumberFormatInfo and
clones it before changing the settings on the cloned value.

Technically in Jons code, you could omit the line where he reset the
CurrencySymbol, and it should work fine. Just change the DecimalDigits
to 0 and you should be all set.
