How to format negative numbers properly in C# and ASP.net

Asked by blouckswwu in Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: Microsoft, Visual Studio, 2003, Negative Number display in ASP.net textbox in C#

FYI...I am still in the learning process in C# so bear with me :-)

I am having a problem with negative numbers showing up strange in ASP textboxes.  I have tried various things to get it to format with the negative number in front or better yet...the amount in ( ) format.  Is there something simple here that I am missing.  I have attached the code that I am using to format this particular text box.  The d_UnmetFedAid is a double var.  I am also taking data from other text boxes and converting them from strings to double's to perform calculations using the double.Parse.

I have also attached a screenshot of what it looks like on the web page.

Thanks for any assistance!Start Free Trial

txt_Data_UnmetAid.Text = String.Format("{0,-10:0.00}",d_UnmetFedAid.ToString());
