I Have one doubt, what is the dataformatstring for million or billion

Edit:
Based on the comments below the OP is trying to display the number in words
e.g. 1,000,000 as 1 Million or 1,000,000,000 as 1 Billion
Hope that clarifys what is requested.

This is the same issue as http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/697271/Dataformatstring-property-for-million-or-billion
(which WAS answered) just worded differently.

For numbers;
{0:N} or {0:Nx} where x is the number of decimal places to show, you can also use lower case n.

For currency, use the same as number, but change the N/n for C/c

There are no functions available to do that (I don't think). You must write your own. I am sure if you search CodeProject you will find one, as these keep appearing all the time in the moderation queues. There is a interop function to do that with Byte sizes, but not seen one for numerics.
