You can try this if u want to do the same on the client side function formatCurrency(num) { num = num.toString().replace(/\$|\,/g,''); if(isNaN(num)) num = "0"; sign = (num == (num = Math.abs(num))); num = Math.floor(num*100+0.50000000001); cents = num%100; num = Math.floor(num/100).toString(); if(cents cents = "0" + cents; for (var i = 0; i num = num.substring(0,num.length-(4*i+3))+','+ num.substring(num.length-(4*i+3)); return (((sign)?'':'-') + num + '.' + cents); }

You might also want to check out the MaskedTextBox control if you want the currency value to be formatted as you type: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.maskedtextbox.aspx
