use this method
public static string formatmoney(Decimal d)
{

return String.Format(CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(”en-us”), “{0:C}”, d);
}

You can provide IFormatProvider. In this case you can do something like this

using System.Globalization;

decimal = moneyValue = 100.00m;
string output = String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture, “{0:C}”, moneyValue);

With the above approach you don’t need to worry about culture specific format.

Is there a way to force the currency to be a specific one? Just because some has different regional settings it does not change the fact that a price is listed in (for example)pound.

decimal moneyvalue = 1921.39m;

You can use
moneyvalue.ToString(”N”)
instead of
moneyvalue.ToString(”C”)

by this way you get the formatted string just like currency, without Currency sign
