linq sum how to display as currency

Question

I have the following in a razor view:

<td>@payments.Sum(p => p.Amount)</td>

I want it to display as a currency so have '$' and two decimals on the end.

I think normally you go something like {0:C}.

I don't know how to incorporate this into what I've got as the Sum does not have an overload for format.

Do I need to do this with a css class?

Answer 1

You would do this:

<td>@String.Format("{0:C}", payments.Sum(p => p.Amount))</td>
