do you need to specific includes (e.g. system IO) to get this result... I keep getting below error when i try this

[no overload for method 'tostring' takes one argument]

by using (N2) returns comma between amount but idont want

Dude,
use this.

double number = 5650.343;

Console.WriteLine("The Number Is {0}", number.ToString("#0.00"));

The # can be extended to number of characters.

If you want a digit to formatted into 0000.00 and then again return as integer.

double number = 123456.646;
number = double.Parse(number.ToString("####0.00"));

Adios

Its a really good example of convert.... i have tries many things to format number to 2 decimal function in C#.. but dont know that it was so simple

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Thanks a lot.It works well.After going through lot of sites with big big procedures, dint expect this would be this much easier

Thanks buddy, u made it as easy as to declare a variable.

Thank! It is really useful and save me a lot of time.

Thanks.....it is useful.

if the precision are zeros then this will not
work

thx. i got it.. thx a lot..

Thank you very much, great tip!

Me too! Looked through many sites before stumbling on this simple yet sooo effective method! Thanks a million!

I get the same as Imani...

after searching all world ......

i founound thizzzz amazing methord..

thnx bro...

keeep it up

Thx..this is a life saver

Gawd.. this is so helpful, its very handy for our thesis. thank you so much.. this is something

Just as a side note, if you need to round off to x number of decimal places while preserving the data type (double, float, or whaterver), you can also use the Math.Round(xxx, yy) function, which takes some numeric type xxx and rounds it to yy decimal places, and preserves the type. This may be useful if you need to round but still need to use the rounded number in other math operations.

hey guys,
I have a decimal whole number and i want that number with 2 decimal point in a decimal variable ie
decimal i =799;
i = decimal.Parse(i.ToString("#0.00"));

this thing is not working for me...the number after conversion is still 799 and NOT 799.00...
any other ideas guys as to how to go about....
thanx

Huzefa,

To format your decimal do the following instead:

decimal i = 799M;

When you wish to write it out with a specific format usse:

string blah = i.ToString(#0.00);

You cannot set the number of decimal points of a numeric data type - only when converting it to a string as above.

HTH

If your dealing with money you can format it like this to output $1000.00

string sString = mDecimal.ToString("C");

this worked for decimal probably the same for other types

This rounds off the number. what if the need is to just trim the number to 2 decimal places without rounding off ?

Best! I got what I needed, Helpful one...

Cunt.

wow, you ppl are idiots!

Seriously stupid people!

Thx guys really helpful !!!

Thanks for tip.
you can do:
string formatted = val.ToString("N" num);
when num is the number of digits you want, so
you can set it as you like

Thanks guyz, you made my life easier!

thank u v much

Thank you
