Examples

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

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Gets a NumberFormatInfo associated with the en-US culture.
   CultureInfo^ MyCI = gcnew CultureInfo( "en-US",false );
   NumberFormatInfo^ nfi = MyCI->NumberFormat;
   
   // Displays a value with the default separator (S".").
   Double myInt = 0.1234;
   Console::WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "P", nfi ) );
   
   // Displays the same value with a blank as the separator.
   nfi->PercentDecimalSeparator = " ";
   Console::WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "P", nfi ) );
}

/*
This code produces the following output.
12.34 %
12 34 %
*/

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 = 0.1234;
      Console.WriteLine( myInt.ToString( "P", nfi ) );

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


/*
This code produces the following output.

12.34 %
12 34 %
*/

Imports System.Globalization

Class NumberFormatInfoSample

   Public Shared Sub Main()

      ' Gets a NumberFormatInfo associated with the en-US culture.
      Dim nfi As NumberFormatInfo = New CultureInfo("en-US", False).NumberFormat

      ' Displays a value with the default separator (".").
      Dim myInt As [Double] = 0.1234
      Console.WriteLine(myInt.ToString("P", nfi))

      ' Displays the same value with a blank as the separator.
      nfi.PercentDecimalSeparator = " "
      Console.WriteLine(myInt.ToString("P", nfi))

   End Sub

End Class


'This code produces the following output.

'12.34 %
'12 34 %

Remarks

The PercentDecimalSeparator property is used with the "P" standard format string to define the symbol that separates integral from fractional digits. For more information, see Standard Numeric Format Strings.
