Imports System.Globalization
Public Module Example
Public Sub Demo(outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
' Create a read-write NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.
Dim numberInfo As NumberFormatInfo = DirectCast(NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone, _
NumberFormatInfo)
Dim value As Decimal = 0.1324d
' Assign each possible value to the PercentPositivePattern property.
For ctr As Integer = 0 to 3
numberInfo.PercentPositivePattern = ctr
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}: {1}", _
ctr, value.ToString("P", numberInfo)) + vbCrLf
Next
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' 0: 13.24 %
' 1: 13.24%
' 2: %13.24
' 3: % 13.24
using System;

public class Example
{
public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
{
// Create a read-write NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.
NumberFormatInfo numberInfo = NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Clone() as NumberFormatInfo;
decimal value = 0.1324m;
// Assign each possible value to the CurrencyNegativePattern property.
for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= 3; ctr++)
{
numberInfo.PercentPositivePattern = ctr;
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0}: {1}\n", ctr,
value.ToString("P", numberInfo));
}
