Formatting using numbered positional arguments:

// Specify values for formatting as an array.
object[] arr = {"Hello", 4, "words", 99.99933};
string str = String.Format("Some values: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", arr);
 
// Format currency using a specific culture.
double amount = 54300.12;
Console.WriteLine(amount.ToString("C", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"))); // $54,300.12
 
// Format currency using C#6 formatting.
double amount = 800.5;
Console.WriteLine($"{amount:C}");
 
// Specify a minimum width. It's useful for aligning columns.
Console.WriteLine("{0,5:D}", 13);  // displays ...13 where dots represent spaces
Console.WriteLine("{0,-5:D}", 13); // displays 13...
 
// Specify a placeholder.
Console.WriteLine("{0:#.00}", 0.231); // .23
Console.WriteLine("{0:#.00}", 0.237); // .24
 
// Insert leading zeroes.
Console.WriteLine("{0:00000}", 13); // 00013
