I'm thinking that the OP meant "display a currency symbol as well".
Either way, a mask of '#999,990.00;_;1' is maybe cleaner. as for the '.' and ',', they are placeholders for the decimalseparator and thousandseparator and are replaced by the correct ones. At least, that was the case in Delphi if I remember correctly. (been a long time since I made anything international :-))
