I have a textbox in RDLC. Now I want to change it into a currency format, but it does not work.

The display value of my textbox looks like this: 12345, not like this: $ 12,345.

What I have tried:

I tried to change my textbox expression from this:

C#

=First(Fields!total.Value, "DataSet1")

to this:

C#

=Format( First(Fields!total.Value, "DataSet1")  ,"0.00")

and same not work.

total.Value? if this is a number, total.Value.ToString("N0")
or?
Format( First(Fields!total.Value, "DataSet1") ,"N0")

Good day sir charles henington, I try your code sir but not working.

int num = 12345;
Console.WriteLine(num.ToString("N0"));

This should print 12,345

Console.WriteLine($"${num.ToString("N0")}");

This should print $12,345

This should work, (not tested):

In the Text Box Properties dialog, go to the Number tab. Under Category, select Currency. In the Locale dropdown, select English (United States) to ensure the currency symbol is set to USD ($). Choose the desired format from the Sample section to see how it will look.

The XML should look like this for 2 decimal places :

XML

<Textbox Name="textbox1">
  <Value>=Fields!Amount.Value</Value>
  <Style>
    <Format>$#,##0.00</Format>
  </Style>
</Textbox>
