Examples

The following example demonstrates the effect of changing the PercentGroupSeparator property.

C#
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 value with the default separator (",").
      Double myInt = 1234.5678;
      Console.WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "P", nfi ) );

      // Displays the same value with a blank as the separator.
      nfi.PercentGroupSeparator = " ";
      Console.WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "P", nfi ) );
   }
}


/*
This code produces the following output.

123,456.78 %
123 456.78 %
*/

Remarks

The PercentGroupSeparator property is used with the "P" standard format string to define the symbol that separates groups of integers. For more information, see Standard Numeric Format Strings.
