Hi

Below is the code to convert a double to specific currency format.

Double MyVal = 78692.92786;
string CurrencyFormat = string.Format("{0:##,###,##}", MyVal);

The .ToString() on numbers can take a format string. Check MSDN for a list of NumberFormatInfo's. One of them is specifically designed to add a thousands seperator
