Hi Brian,

An example of how you could do it is by using this:

@{
    if (CurrentPage.HasValue("capitalValue")){
        var price = CurrentPage.capitalValue.ToString();
        <li>Capital Value: <span class="thin">£@price.Substring(0,3),@price.Substring(3,3)</span></li>
    }
} 

And this can be place directly into your template, but you could also create a partial view or a partial view macro. In this example I just check if the field on the current page has a value, if so, then I make to subtrings, the first one, takes the first 3 digits, and the last takes the last 3 digits. And to make this solution more robust, you could add a regular expression on the field where the user should type in the price.

I have made a regular expression where it only allows 0-6 characters, the regular expression look like this:

^[0-9]{0,6}$

Hope this could be a solution for you.

Couldn't you just leverage string.format?

Using Dennis method

@{if (CurrentPage.HasValue("reportPrice"))
                                {
                                    string reportPriceString = (string)CurrentPage.reportPrice;
                                    int reportPriceInteger = reportPriceString.AsInt();

                                    string reportPriceFormatted = reportPriceInteger.ToString("#,##0");

                                    @reportPriceFormatted

                                }
                                }

Hi

Surprisingly, this works

@CurrentPage.ReportPrice.ToString("#,##0")
