This is how you should do it:
item.SalePrice.ToString("N2");

Using The numeric ("N") format specifier in a 2 precision specifier with a culture that has , as a NumberGroupSeparator and . as a NumberDecimalSeparator (like InvariantCulture) is the best way in your case.

item.SalePrice.ToString("N2", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

If you don't specify any culture, this method uses CurrentCulture by default and you might get different representation if your CurrentCulture has different specifiers for these properties.
