Cell format

Question

User-1188570427 posted

I am trying to read in my cell format from the database, but how would I place it into here?

decimal value = 123.456m;

Console.WriteLine("Your account balance is {0:C2}.", value);

I want to read in "C2" from the database.

I tried this:

Console.WriteLine("Your account balance is {0:{1}}.", value, cellFormat);Error CA2241 Provide correct arguments to formatting methods

Obviously, the syntax is incorrect.  You'll need to build a custom formatter according to your specification.
