I would like to convert a 10-digit string phone number (1234567890) to say
(xxx) xxx-xxxx. Is there a function for this or should I write the code to
piece together one character at a time?
Any suggestions is appreciated. 6 17953
Do you need it for London. Paris, Lyon or for Amsterdam?
To show you that this can be even different for cities.
AS far as I know is this not in the globalization. so you have to write it
yourself however there are lot of samples how to do it by instance for the
US on Internet..
I hope this helps,

I assume that you will have to format the number yourself. Phone
numbers are very specific to countries.

I was trying to reproduce the functionality VB6 has. In VB6 you can simply
use:
format("1234567 890","(###) ###-####").
I was wondering if there is something similar in dot net.

Dim Phone As String = "1234567890 "
Label1.Text = Phone.ToString. Format("({0}) {1}-{2}", Phone.Substring (0, 3),
Phone.Substring (3, 3), Phone.Substring (6, 4))
I'n not sure this best way

KFactor,
Unfortunately .NET does not allow formatting of strings like VB6 does.
In addition to the other comments, what I normally do is convert the phone
number into a number (integer) then use a custom format on the integer.
Something like:
Dim phoneNumber As String = "1234567890 "
phoneNumber = Cint(phoneNumbe r).ToString("(0 00) 000-0000")
Alternatively you might be able to create a ICustomFormatte r object (an
object that implements Syste.ICustomFo rmatter.
Hope this helps

Hello all!
As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven
websites using javascript and vbscript for about 6-7 years now, and I
am *horrible* at form validation.
To be honest I usually hire someone to do it for me, grab predone
scripts and kind of hack out the parts that I need, or just do very
minimal validation (e.g. this is numeric, this is alpha-numeric, etc.)
