how do i format list view column to show currency symbol

Question

I have a ListView on one of the windows project using c#. One of the columns contains currency values. How do I format the List View so that this column presents the "£" sign (for Pounds Sterling)?

Answer 1

String.Format("{0:c}", CurrencyValue);

is supposed to do the trick if you just want currency symbol for the locale of your application. If you're working with multiple currrencies your control of choice has to support Unicode.
