The CurrencyDecimalDigits property is used with the "C" standard format string without a precision specifier in numeric formatting operations. It defines the default number of fractional digits that appear after the decimal separator. This value is overridden if a precision specifier is used. For more information, see Standard Numeric Format Strings.
The following example demonstrates the effect of changing the CurrencyDecimalDigits property.
using System; using System.Globalization; class NumberFormatInfoSample { public static void Main() { // Gets a NumberFormatInfo associated with the en-US culture. NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat; // Displays a negative value with the default number of decimal digits (2). Int64 myInt = -1234; Console.WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "C", nfi ) ); // Displays the same value with four decimal digits. nfi.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 4; Console.WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "C", nfi ) ); } } /* This code produces the following output. ($1,234.00) ($1,234.0000) */
