+.Net format specifier Cheat Sheet
+============================
+
+Here my (growing) collection of C# format specifier, this is not a complete list but rather a collection of specifier I needed in the past:
+
+###Short syntax summary
+
+```csharp
+"{0,5:000;0.#;0}"
+```
+
+```plain
+{
+0           // The index of the displayed object
+,5          // A padding of 5
+000;0.#;0   // The format string
+}
+```
+
+```plain
+000   // The format for positive numbers (min 3 places, fill missing with zeroes)
+;
+0.#   // The format for negative numbers (at least one digit before decimal point, maximum one after)
+;
+0     // The format for zeros (one digit -  a zero)
+```
+
+###Align right with leading spaces
+
+```csharp
+"{0,6}" // min-width: 6 character
+```
+
+###Digits after decimal point
+
+```csharp
+"{0:0.00}" // exactly 2 digits after decimal point
+"{0:0.##}" // maximal 2 digits after decimal point
+```
+
+###Align positive & negative numbers with leading zeros
+
+```csharp
+/* integer: */
+"{0:0000;-000}" // min-width: 4 character
+
+/* float: */
+"{0:0000.00;-000.00}" // min-width: 4 character + 2 decimal places
+```
+
+###Remove minus sign
+
+```csharp
+"{0:0;0}"
+```
+
+###Show thousand seperator
+
+```csharp
+"{0:#,0}" // only for integer
+```
+
+###Scale numbers
+
+```csharp
+"{0:#,#}"            // normal number
+"{0:#,##0, kilo}"    // (number/1000) kilo
+"{0:#,##0,, mill}"   // (number/1000/1000) million
+"{0:#,##0,,, bill}"  // (number/1000/1000/1000) billion
+```

+
+###Right align currency
+
+```csharp
+"{0,10:#,##0.00}" // Right aligned & always 2 decimal places
+```
+
+> **see: ** [stackoverflow.com](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7422625/right-align-currency-in-string-format)
+
+###Align strings
+
+```csharp
+"{0,-10}" // Left aligned, min-width: 10 chars
+"{0,10}"  // Right aligned, min-width: 10 chars
+```
+
+###Datetime formatting
+
+```csharp
+"s" // second
+"m" // minute
+"t" // AM/PM
+"h" // hour (1-12)
+"H" // hour (0-23)
+"d" // day
+"M" // month
+"y" // year
+"z" // timezone offset
+
+"{0:D/M/yyyy}"            //  z.B.: 28/2/2013"
+```
+
+###Only show positive numbers
+
+```csharp
+"{0:#.#####;'';}"
+```
+
+###Add a prefix/suffix
+
+```csharp
+"{0:(0)}" // ( number )
+"{0:_0_}" // _number_
+```
+
+###Format Hexadecimal
+
+```csharp
+"{0:X}"    // z.B.: 138D5
+"{0:x}"    // z.B.: 138d5
+"{0:X8}"   // z.B.: 000138D5
+"0x{0:X8}" // z.B.: 0x000138D5
+```
