Format string question

[kevininstructor]

The following was copied from a web site for learning formatting.
Dim myInt As Integer = 100
Dim FormatPrice As String = String.Format("Price = |{0,10:c }|", myInt)
Console.WriteLine(FormatPrice)
The result shown is no number but the character c as in the format string.
Is the format not valid in this context?

Thanks for your assistance,
Kevin

The format string should be "Price = |{0:c10}|" . This will give you:

Price = |$100.0000000000|

in the console window if you are using the English (United States) as your
language . For more information on Standard Numeric Format Strings check
