To format output in C#, let us see examples to format date and double type.

Set formatted output for Double type.

Example

class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args) {

      Console.WriteLine("Three decimal places...");
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0.000}", 987.383));
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0.000}", 987.38));
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0.000}", 987.7899));

      Console.WriteLine("Thousands Separator...");
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0,0.0}", 54567.46));
      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0,0}", 54567.46));
   }
}

Output

      Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:M MM MMM MMMM}", d));
