Converting int to currency format

Question

guys. I would like to ask if there's anyway to make an int input to currency format? I have tried using

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public int TotalAmount { get; set; }

but, it would show an empty

@Html.EditorFor

And if I used

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:F2}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public int TotalAmount { get; set; }

It would only show 0.00

What I would like is when I input 10000, it would automatically format to

Rp. 10.000

inside the @Html.EditorFor field.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try this:

1. "C" or "c" Currency Result:

   [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)] public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }

OR

   [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C0}")]
    public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }

2. "N" or "n" Number Result:

   [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:N}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)] public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }

3. In Entity Framework

[DataType(DataType.Currency)] public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }

EditorTemplates Example:

Create a editor template for currency (~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/Currency.cshtml):

Currency.cshtml

@Html.TextBox("", string.Format("{0:c}", ViewData.Model),new { @class = "text-box single-line" })

Use:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.TotalAmount, "Currency")

you can get more information form this and this link.

Answer 2

 @Html.Raw(@String.Format("{0:c}", @Model.YourFieldName))
