What are you assigning your formatted currency to?

With your code:

xnum = double.Parse(lc ost); ***** this is passed in *******
ynum = double.Parse(tx tServiceCost.Te xt); ***** this is in the textbox
*****
znum = xnum + ynum;
txtResult.Text = znum.ToString(" C");
ToString() is a method and it returns a string value in the format of a
currency. You have to put that string somewhere though!

Um, I did in my previous posting... ?

If 'znum' is a double, and 'txtResult' is the text box where you want
to put your formatted result, then you need this line:

txtResult.Text = znum.ToString(" C");

Is this what you ment?

I have a datagrid where I specified {0:###,###,###} at design time. However sometimes I am putting percentages in the grid instead of money and I want to change the formating to {##%}. I've looked over the docs on such things as the dataformatstring porperty of the boundColumn but still can't figure out how to do it in code. Thank, T
