jQuery Datatable Date Format And Currency Symbol

This article gives an overview of  how to use jQuery datatable in MVC and format date, currency symbol in jQuery Ajax. I will use jQuery datatable plugin in this demo application and explain how to apply date format and currency symbol. Here is the code.
 
This example requires the following basic understanding
  • Jquery datatable
  • Ajax
  • Bootstrap
  • Entity framework
  • MVC
Step 1
 
There are multiple ways to create a new project in Visual Studio 2019. When you first open Visual Studio, the start window appears, and from there, you can choose to create a new project.

Step 2
 
On the Create a new project page, a list of your recently selected templates appears on the left. The templates are sorted by most recently used.
 
If you're not selecting from the recently used templates, you can filter all available project templates by Language (for example, C#), Platform (for example, Windows or Azure), and Project type (for example, Desktop or Web). You can also enter search text into the search box to further filter the templates, for example, asp.net.
