What was the result? Why does it not match what you wanted? What is the exact
line of code?

It is very hard to answer your question with as little you've provided.

I'm guessing here, but I guess this would work. It does however not explain
why your original doesn't work.

You could use regex for this problem. And you could parse the number as an
int an use string.Format.

string value = "12345678901";
string formatted = string.Empty;
formatted = Regex.Replace(value, "^([0-9]{3})([0-9]{6})([0-9]{2})$", "${1}-${2}-${3}");
formatted = string.Format("{0:000-000000-00}", long.Parse(value));

And tehn ofcourse there is the SubString function...

But I find the other two easier to read. (This one will be substantially
faster).

string value = "12345678901";
string formatted = string.Empty;

formatted = value.Substring(0, 3) + "-"
+ value.Substring(3, 6) + "-"
+ value.Substring(9, 2);

Hi Georg,

In addition to Jesse's solutions you can also use String.Insert

string s = "123012345612";
s = s.Insert(10, "-").Insert(3, "-");

If you are trying to add the - using a mask, try ###-#######-##
