Do you need comma *and* space? If yes you'll need to build custom CultureInfo for that as I don't think there is one with `", "` as separator. — Alexei Levenkov, Mar 20 '14 at 02:33

you need to use customized formatting (More) which is available in Globalization

using System.IO;
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        double value = 133354.4;
        Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("#,#.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

    }
}

output:

133,354.40

This really helped a lot but in zero, it displays like this '.00'. Thanks. :) – Angelo King Mar 20 '14 at 05:13

First, convert it to decimal, for sample:

string number = "133354.4";

decimal value = decimal.Parse(number);

string formatedNumber = value.ToString("N");

ToString(string format) method from decimal type, has a format type you can specify the type of number you want to print. Look at the documentation and add the specific type you need.
