---

Sets or retrieves the string that separates groups of digits to the left of the decimal in currency values.

[ VB ]
public Property CurrencyGroupSeparator As String

[ C# ]
public string CurrencyGroupSeparator {get; set;}

[ C++ ]
public: __property String* get_CurrencyGroupSeparator ( );
public: __property void set_CurrencyGroupSeparator ( String* );

[ JScript ]
function get CurrencyGroupSeparator ( ) : String;
public function set CurrencyGroupSeparator ( String );

The string that separates groups of digits to the left of the decimal in currency values. The default for InvariantInfo is ",".

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The property is being set to a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).
ArgumentException	The property is being set to a value that is the same as NumberDecimalSeparator, CurrencyDecimalSeparator, or PercentDecimalSeparator.
InvalidOperationException	The property is being set and the NumberFormatInfo is read-only.

The initial value of this property is derived from the settings in Regional and Language Options ( or Regional Options or Regional Settings ) in Control Panel. However, if any of the group separators ( NumberGroupSeparator, CurrencyGroupSeparator, or PercentGroupSeparator ) is the same as any of the decimal separators ( NumberDecimalSeparator, CurrencyDecimalSeparator, or PercentDecimalSeparator ), parsing ambiguous strings produces unpredictable results. If you explicitly set any of the group separator properties in NumberFormatInfo to a value that is the same as any of the decimal separators or if you explicitly set any of the decimal separators to a value that is the same as any of the group separators, ArgumentException is thrown.

The below shows the CurrencyGroupSeparator used for each of the available cultures.
