decimal.tostring("c") output?

Hi,

I have some code which displays in a combobox like this;

 combobox.text = myDecimal.ToString("C");

The MSDN page says this should be the output;

 Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C"));         // Displays ($16,325.62)

So does anyone have any idea why im seeing "$16, 325.62"  ??   The space is being added after the comma.. which means when i try and parse this string later on back in to a decimal using the following code, it fails;

 decimal.Parse(combobox.Text, NumberStyles.Currency);

If i manually remove the space while stepping in to the code in debug, it works fine.  Otherwise it throws invalid format.  I have also tried NumberStyles.Any as well.  I can manually remove the space but i dont want to have to go about doing that :-(  Any ideas why this is happening?

thanks.

When I code this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
double myDecimal = 16325.62;
Console.WriteLine(myDecimal.ToString("C"));
}
I'm getting the following output:
$16,325.62
No spaces are imbedded. This with VS2008.
