How to format display String to currency in C#

Question

I need to format my display tostring results to a currency in C#

display = "Service Amount: " + service + "<br>" +   
          "Discount Amount: " + discountAmount + "<br>" +
          "Total: " + total + "<br>";
        lblDisplay.Text = display;

I did try the following:

display = "Service Amount: " + Console.Write(int.ToString("c",service)) + "

but I couldn't figure out what variables to put in. I just need it to display as $35.00 after the it returns the string.

service.ToString("C") - See [Standard Numeric Format Strings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k(v=vs.110).aspx) — Steve, Jan 28 '15 at 17:00

Try:

display = string.Format("Service Amount: {0}",service.ToString("C"));
Console.WriteLine(display);

You can also look at StringBuilder for building strings or String.Format
