As an altenative you could try:<br />
Text='&lt;%# String.Format(&quot;{0:$#,###}&quot;<wbr />,Eval(&quot;Bus<wbr />Price&quot;))<br />

</div>


As an altenative you could try:
Text='<%# String.Format("{0:$#,###}",Eval("BusPrice"))

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a data bound field in a DataList. &nbsp;Trying to format it to show currency ($300,000) using the following.<br />
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000cd&quot;&gt;Price:&amp;nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;asp:Label ID=&quot;BusPriceLabel&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; Font-Bold=&quot;True&quot; Font-Size=&quot;Medium&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Style=&quot;font-size: small; position: relative;&quot; Text='&lt;%# Eval(&quot;BusPrice&quot;, &quot;${0:###,###}&quot;) %&gt;' ForeColor=&quot;Black&quot;&gt;&lt;/asp:La<wbr />bel&gt;&lt;/span<wbr />&gt;&lt;/td&gt;<br />

Unfortunately this only produces &quot;$300000&quot;. &nbsp;What am I doing wrong?

Currency formatting in DataList

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
