String Formatting Question

[A.M]

Hi,

I have a string contains a phone number like "4164851412"
What would be the easiest way to format the string into phone number format
like "(416) 485-1412"

Thank you,
Alan

First, make sure that the length of the string is 10, then do:

String.Format ("({0}) {1}-{2}", number.Substring(0, 3),
number.Substring(3, 3),
number.Susbtring(6, 4));
