c# add decimal points to string of integer

I have a string "123456" and I want to make it "123.456". Is there a function in c# that converts the value to what I need?

Other examples: "1000000" -> "1.000.000"

First parse it to numeric type (depending what would be the length of your string), for example lets use long (and long.TryParse() method):

string str = "1000000";
long num = 0;
long.TryParse(str, out num); //or long.TryParse(str, out long num); in c# 7

then use ToString() to convert it back to string using specified format:

string nstr = num.ToString("N0");

If you want to do it by just making a call to a function :

private string AddSeparator(string value)
{
   string newvalue = string.Empty;

   try
   {
      newvalue = Convert.ToInt32(value).ToString("N");
   }
   catch
   {
      //Do whatever you want if conversion fails
   }

   return newvalue;
}
