Very small problem - but i had stucked here
-
Hi friends, Its very silly problem. But still it scares me. int _Totalcnt = 62; int _Namecnt = 31; decimal Pctmatch = Convert.ToDecimal((_Namecnt / _Totalcnt) * 100); I am getting value for Pctmatch as '0'. why it showing wrong. How can i get exact decimal value there?

Convert _Namecnt and _Totalcnt to decimals rather than the result of the calculation, i.e.
decimal Pctmatch = (Convert.ToDecimal(_Namecnt) / Convert.ToDecimal(_Totalcnt)) * 100;

I can't believe you got this many replies and not the right answer, or at least, not a proper explanation ( that I could see ). decimal PctMatch = _Namecnt/(Decimal)_Totalcnt * 100 If you divide by a decimal, you will get a decimal answer. If you divide by an int, it gets rounded and you get an int, which is THEN converted to decimal, but the decimal part has already been discarded.

ya, perfect. Its working now. But how to take precesion here. i am getting value for Pctmatch = 76.876789989999 how can i get only 2 values after decimal?

ya, i got the answer. By converting to string as Pctmatch.ToString("N2");
