you can use this code sample string retWord(decimal Num) { //This two dimensional array store the primary word convertion of number. retWord = ""; object[,] ArrWordList = { { 0, "" }, { 1, "One" }, { 2, "Two" }, { 3, "Three" }, { 4, "Four" }, { 5, "Five" }, { 6, "Six" }, { 7, "Seven" }, { 8, "Eight" }, { 9, "Nine" }, { 10, "Ten" }, { 11, "Eleven" }, { 12, "Twelve" }, { 13, "Thirteen" }, { 14, "Fourteen" }, { 15, "Fifteen" }, { 16, "Sixteen" }, { 17, "Seventeen" }, { 18, "Eighteen" }, { 19, "Nineteen" }, { 20, "Twenty" }, { 30, "Thirty" }, { 40, "Forty" }, { 50, "Fifty" }, { 60, "Sixty" }, { 70, "Seventy" }, { 80, "Eighty" }, { 90, "Ninety" }, { 100, "Hundred" }, { 1000, "Thousand" }, { 100000, "Lakh" }, { 10000000, "Crore" } }; int i; for (i = 0; i if (Num == ArrWordList(i, 0)) { retWord = ArrWordList(i, 1); break; // TODO: might not be correct. Was : Exit For } } return retWord; }
