Is there any way to output sepcial numbers like "japaneese or arabic" !?
I think it is not build in in .NET 1.0/1...

Is there any method in .NET 2.0 ?

Greetings
Jochen

Thanks for the post. Declarative and other "hidden" language documentation has been a bit of a miss in the SDK docs to date. Hoping Whidbey will change that. More:

Your now-coworker Heath once wrote an excellent tutorial over at CodeProject:

I think this kind of explanation deserves to be on MSDN, rather than on a weblog.

Great to see that people have found other resources on this topic. To answer Jochen's question, there's no particular formatting options that support writing out specific numerals. However, check out the new class System.Globalization.DigitShapes in V2.0 (betas), which helps in this space.

As for this description being in the docs: it basically is, it's just a matter of finding it easily/successfully. I've given a rundown version of whats in the SDK, but if you use theindex search parameters I suggest, you'll quickly find more detailed information on this topic in the SDK.
