Space as thousands separator for labels - xaml

Question

I have a label and im using binding and a FormatString as such:
<Label Text="{Binding buying_price , StringFormat='{0} EUR'}">
The label's text is bound to a double in my ViewModel, what im getting on the label is something like this: 10000 EUR, what i want to get is 10 000 EUR, and 12 501 005 EUR for example (without the trailing .00).
I tried StringFormat='{0:C2} EUR' and StringFormat='{0:N} EUR' and StringFormat='{0:n} EUR' but non of them gave me a good result.

Answer 1

I did not make it work in xaml, while when I use a convert and use string format in code behind, it works as excepted:
<ContentPage.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<local:thousandsSeparatorConverter x:Key="thousandsSeparator"/>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ContentPage.Resources>
<StackLayout>
<!-- Place new controls here -->
<Label Text="{Binding date, Converter={StaticResource thousandsSeparator}}" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
And the local:thousandsSeparatorConverter :
public class thousandsSeparatorConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
string s = value as string;
double number = double.Parse(s);
// Gets a NumberFormatInfo associated with the en-US culture.
NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo("en-US", false).NumberFormat;
// Displays the same value with a blank as the separator.
nfi.NumberGroupSeparator = " ";
Console.WriteLine(number.ToString("N0", nfi));
string convertedNumber = number.ToString("N0", nfi);
return convertedNumber;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
return value;
}
}

Try using StringFormat='{}{0:#,##,#}' depending on your culture you may need to change it in the code-behind if you get a result of 10,000 EUR instead of 10 000 EUR, in the former the , is a thousands separator not a comma.
You may want to take a look at the complete documentation for available numeric format string.
