Strings
There real isn't any formatting within a strong, beyond it's alignment. Alignment works for any argument beingprinted in a string.format call.

The group separator is especially useful for formatting currency values which require that negative values be enclosed in parentheses This currency formatting example at the bottom of this document makes it obvious:. Dates

Some useful exampletring.format ("{0: $ #, ## 0.00; ($ #, ## 0.00); zero}", value);
This Will Output "$ 1,240.00" if passed 1243.50. It will output the Same Format But in Parentheses if The number is negative, and will output the string "zero" if the number is zero.
String.Format ("{0: (###) ### - ####}", 18005551212);
THIS WILL OUTPUT "(800) 555-1212".
