Format telephone numbers

[ecpmiranda]

I have a TextBox and need to format.
The telephone number is a string like this "27999999999" and I need to format like this "(27) 99999-9999"
How can I format this TextBox?

Hello.

Please, set the Custom Format with next mask:

Code: Select all

(##) #####-####

or you could use next expression:

Code: Select all

{27999999999.ToString("(##) #####-####")}

Thank you.

I tried the first approach, did not work.
The field is string type and value is 99999999999 (eleven digits) two for long distance number and the rest telephone number.

Try changing textformat of telephone fields on the attached report (TELEFONES DE CONTATO)

Hello,

Please try to use the following expression:

Code: Select all

{String.Format("{0:(##) #####-####}", System.Convert.ToInt64(DataSet1.TelefoneResidencialAluno))}

Thank you.

Is the only solution? I will have to check for null values, because not always I have a telephone number at this field.

Hello,

You can add the additional checks on the null values:

Code: Select all

{(DataSet1.TelefoneResidencialAluno == "" ? "" :String.Format("{0:(##) #####-####}", System.Convert.ToInt64(DataSet1.TelefoneResidencialAluno)))}

Thank you.
