    Hi Raghukatta,

     

    You can use the .NET String.Format method to format numbers according to the current locale:

    dotNET.System.String.Format("{0:F2}%", 4).OleValue

    This returns 4.00% on the US locale and 4,00% on the German locale. The format string {0:F2}% means "format the method's only argument (0:) as a floating-point number with 2 decimal digits (F2) and append % at the end."

     

    If you run tests on one locale but need to format text for another locale, you can specify the locale as a parameter:

    var number = 4;
var culture = dotNET.System_Globalization.CultureInfo.zctor("de-de");
    var str = dotNET.System.String.Format_3(culture, "{0:F2}%", number).OleValue;
