Dollar ($) sign and commas in thousands for a number with String.Format()

Question

Trying to format a number 5620000 to $5,620,000

string html = string.Format("$ {0:n0}", 5620000)

Is it possible to do with string.Format function ?

Your source needs to be a number, not a string, convert it first. — DavidG, Jul 12 '17 at 13:25
So now you have edited to use an int, it should be working fine. What is the problem? — DavidG, Jul 12 '17 at 13:27
@DavidG problem with result $ 5.620.000 its returning, we want comma. — Govind Samrow, Jul 12 '17 at 14:52
Then you need to write this in the question, not wait an hour to add it in the comments. At 2k+ rep you should know this by now. — DavidG, Jul 12 '17 at 14:53

You can use the overload of ToString() which takes an IFormatProvider as argument and specify that the number is currency.

var value = 5620000;
value.ToString("C", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"))

EDIT

As @Uwe Keim pointed out you can also use the String.Format() overload that does this:

String.Format(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0:C}", 5620000)

`String.Format` also has an overload with `IFormatProvider `, e.g. [this one](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn906224(v=vs.110).aspx). – Uwe Keim Jul 12 '17 at 13:34
