Using custom number format

NumberFormatInfo can be used for formatting both integer and float numbers.

// invariantResult is "1,234,567.89"
var invarianResult = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:#,###,##}", 1234567.89);

// NumberFormatInfo is one of classes that implement IFormatProvider
var customProvider = new NumberFormatInfo
{
    NumberDecimalSeparator = "_NS_", // will be used instead of ','
    NumberGroupSeparator = "_GS_", // will be used instead of '.'
};

// customResult is "1_GS_234_GS_567_NS_89"
var customResult = string.Format(customProvider, "{0:#,###.##}", 1234567.89);
