Perfectly working as per you need no need of extra formating

String.Format("{0:# ###.00}", 40000);
output - "40 000.00"
String.Format("{0:# ###.00}", 400000);
output - "400 000.00"
String.Format("{0:# ###.00}", 4000);
output - "4 000.00"

This will work

String.Format("{0:### ### ### ###.##}", 10000.00)

Result:

"  10 000.00"

You will need to trim the result to remove the extra spaces

since this is the only answer here that works, even you have to trim the output: +1 – dwonisch Nov 02 '12 at 13:07

You can do this using NumberFormatInfo class. look at the sample code.

NumberFormatInfo numberFormatInfo = (NumberFormatInfo)CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat.Clone();          
numberFormatInfo.NumberGroupSeparator = " ";

int a = 1000;

Console.WriteLine(a.ToString("n", numberFormatInfo)); // 1 000.00

Here you go friend:

var formatInfo = new NumberFormatInfo();
formatInfo.CurrencyGroupSeparator = " ";
formatInfo.CurrencySymbol = string.Empty;

Console.WriteLine(1000.ToString("C", formatInfo));
Console.WriteLine(10000.ToString("C", formatInfo));
Console.WriteLine(100000.ToString("C", formatInfo));
