Well this is easy if you want currency format:

C#

textbox1.text=decimal.parse(textbox1.text).Tostring("C");

or without the currency sign:

C#

textbox1.text=decimal.parse(textbox1.text).ToString("0,0.0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

A list of quick formats are shown in the documentation:

or you can custom format the string:

If you type this insted:
textbox1.text=decimal.parse(textbox1.text).ToString("0,0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
It wont take the decimal "." into account, but you should have figured that out nw if you had read the documentation :)

CultureInfo.InvariantCulture is not show in my computer

Add using System.Globalization; at the top of the application.... Above any text in the code :)
