Answer 1

You can just call ToString with the format string of choice.

For example, in your case:

int value = 21232221;

string result = value.ToString("N");

This will place 21,232,221 as the value in result. To format as currency, use "C" (though this will add the currency specified, ie: $). There are many options for format strings - for details, see here.
