Example

The following example demonstrates the effects of different NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern property values.

C# Example

using System;
using System.Globalization;
class Test {
 public static void Main() {
 NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo();
 decimal myMoney = 9999999999999.00m;
 for (int i = 0; i<=3; i++) {
 nfi.CurrencyPositivePattern = i;
 Console.WriteLine("pattern # {0}: {1}",i,myMoney.ToString("C",nfi));
 }
 }
}

The output is

pattern # 0: $9,999,999,999,999.00
pattern # 1: 9,999,999,999,999.00$
