The currency values are displayed in format of the regional settings specified in the computer of the user. I would like to display all the currency values in dollar format irrespective of the regional settings. i tried formatting the currency columns as $#.##0,00;($#.# #0,00) but it still shows values in regional formats.
Is there a way to specify an application specific setting.

As far as I'm aware you can only set the custom format with the full stop as the decimal point and the comma as the thousand separator as follows:
$#,##0.00

Exactly where and how did you try setting this currency format?
Everything I tried showed the values in dollars. My settings are set in standard British format with the £ (GBP) as the currency symbol.
PS. Though many European countries use the format you show (. & , reversed from the way used in Britain & America), this would be unusual for a display of dollars (I suppose it may be what they use in those countries when showing Dollars. I'm not really sure). I tested and I found my PC settings determined how each character is interpreted - regardless of where you put it in a format string. This doesn't look promising I'm afraid.
The format i specified has been set for all currencies in the tables.
When i view the data in table it show as dollars only but when i view the data in my reports the charts are taking up regional setting currency symbol which is GBP.
If the reports were made before you added the formatting to the table, they wont "inherit" the format value. You can manually assign it in the report, by looking at the textbox's format property.
that also has $#.##0,00;($#.# #0,00) set as its format

I'm afraid I'm unable to reproduce what you describe Max. Even in a report. It always shows as dollars for me.
Do you think i need to code and set field format as $#.##0,00;($#.# #0,00) on form load
As far as I know, if you have set it correctly it should work.
If its still not working, then maybe you made a typo?
Is there any code attached to the field?
What is happening is there is pivot chart that has a query as a source. when i formatted the currency fields in the query to be displayed as dollars. after that when i saw the query result it is as expected.
When i see it on the pivot chart view inside a form its taking the regional setting format.
when i view the same as datasheet the values are formatted as $$$ as expected

Before I was calling the API function for it, which took the currency

I have a bunch of text boxes and labels that hold currency values. I
need some formatting on them, but since they are databound to a set, I'm
confused as to how to do that. Do labels and text boxes have some kind
of format string that can auto-apply a format to what ever data is
entered? Is it possible to create a callback-type function that allows
me to specify the formatting (for different currency symbols, etc).

I am using VS.NET 2003 and trying to take an item out of a row in a
loosely-typed dataset and place it in a label as a currency. As it is now,
I am getting my unformatted data values (as decimals) just fine, so I know
there's not a problem with the data retrieval, just the formatting.
I have read that this would work:
lblPrice.Text = prodRow.ToString("C");

The same for printing, printf?
C,D,E,F,G,N,X for currency, decimal, exponential, fixed, general, numerical,

decimals, left/right placement, or string formatting.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
