format a decimal number

[coolpali_girl]

Hi, How do i specify a decimal number to take only two numbers after the "."? for example: if i have this number in a lable 23.222342114, how do i write my cobe to be displayed only like this 23.22 ?? thanks,

object.ToString ( "Fn" ) where F is a single alphabetic character called the format specifier, and n can be one or more digits called the precision specifier. Format specifier for decimal D or d so you have to use object.ToString("D2");

I tried what you said but it's not accepting the D2..i'm using a vb.net code so are you sure it's right?

i will just show one example ok decimal i=123.23444; string j=Convert.ToString(Math(i,2)); if print j u will be getting 123.23 Hope this works for u.

no, it's not working :( i think what you wrote is a c# code not a vb.net when i wrote your code it displayed an error under the word "Math" !

you can simply use this to get the desired output. string str = Convert.ToString(Math.Round(i,2)); here i is your decimal number.

Iam really sorry for the mistake. actually i missed one small piece of code. Decimal i=Convert.ToDecimal(textBox1.Text); textBox2.Text=Convert.ToString(Math.Round(i,2)); u should give Math.Round(i,2) where i is the decimal no and 2 is the no of decimal places to be rounded to. this will surely work. I am sorry for the previous error ok. Vipin
