Hi,
I would like to display prices without decimal, like this   "9.900 kr"  instead of "9.900,00"
Are there any settings that I can adjust to change this?

Thanks,
GG

The currency is displayed using Mediachase.Store.Business.CurrencyManager.ConvertCurrency method, which calls FormatCurrency method which returns the formatted string representing the price. This is done using the following format method of String class:

String.Format(EffectiveCulture(currencyCode), "{0:c}", amount);

Basically it is using the currency format. The currency format is defined by the operating system so it won't be easy to change. You will need to modify "{0:c}" section of the Format attributes to display it as you wish. Good thing be to not modify how it is formatted for the admin site:

if(FrameworkConfig.OperationMode == "Admin")

   return String.Format(EffectiveCulture(currencyCode), "{0:c}", amount);

else

   return String.Format(EffectiveCulture(currencyCode), "{#,##0}", amount);

Hope this helps,
Sasha.

I expect that I need the full source code for that, right?

Try changing the Base Currency property in the administration->global settings page.

Thanks,
Sasha.

I have the base currency set to ISK, which is the currency that I use. 
All prices are still displayed as "123.456,00 kr." but I want it to be displayed as "123.456 kr."

Put the following into the global.asax.cs file for the public store:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;

}

Thanks,
Sasha.

Excellent !
This did the trick.  Thanks alot.

Hi,
I now have the same issue but this time on a version 4.

I tried to solve it in the same way as I did in version 3 by adding these lines in global.asax:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;

    }
   
but then I get the result below when I try to open the site.

Should I use a different approach? As before I just want to display the currency amounts with 0 decimals.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.210

It looks like that property was changed to readonly in asp.net 2.0 framework. I'm not sure why, but it will require further investigation.

Thanks.

Try to use the following variant of function FormatCurrency:

public static String FormatCurrency(decimal amount, string currencyCode)
{
         CultureInfo cult = EffectiveCulture(currencyCode);
         cult.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;
         return String.Format(cult, "{0:c}", amount);
}
