string.Format ignores NumberFormatInfo?

I output data from a process to a csv. I store intermediate results in a data class, which also has methods to output the data to a string so it can be written to a file.

Class DataClass {

    // t开发者_如何学运维he actual data
    public double Value1 { get; set; } 
    public double Value2 { get; set; } 
    public double Value3 { get; set; } 

    // return headers for this dataclass (called once)
    public static string Headers { get { return "Value1\tValue2\tValue3"; } }

    // no decimals needed (keep filesize smaller, numbers are millions and up)
    static NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo() { NumberDecimalDigits = 0 }; 

    // this returns a string with the values for the dataclass (called for each row)
    public string ValuesString {
        get {
            // ** I would expect the numbers to have NO decimals because of nfi **
            return string.Format(nfi, "{0}\t{1}\t{2}",
                Value1,
                Value2,
                Value3,
            );
        }
    }
}

Here i write to the file:

// headers
swResultFile.WriteLine("Group\t" + GroupResult.Headers);

// values
foreach (var r in GroupResults) swResultFile.WriteLine(r.Key + "\t" + r.Value.ValuesString);

But the output file still has all the decimals:

Group  Value1   Value2  Value3
1   176983.222718191    278477.364780645    462811.208871335
2   11262339.27 16383.9680721473    118430.334721429

Does anyone know why it's ignoring the NumberFormatInfo?

When I check it in the debugger it looks just fine.

Thanks,

Gert-Jan

You have to use the N format specifier for Format to use the NumberFormatInfo. Try this

 return string.Format(nfi, "{0:N}\t{1:N}\t{2:N}",
            Value1,
            Value2,
            Value3,
        );
