Converting decimal to String

[Subrahmanyam K]

Hi, I am converting a decimal value to string for displaying it on a label. While converting the decimal value with two decimal places to string, 4 more zeroes are being appended to the decimal value. eg: "45.52" is displaying as "45.520000" on label after using the following statement: decimal d = 45.52 lblNetPrice.Text = Convert.ToString(d); What I need to do for displaying 2 decimal values on the label other than using the substring function? Thanks in advance. Subrahmanyam K

lblNetPrice.Text = String.Format("{0:#.##}",d); /edit: helps if you get the format right -- modified at 8:05 Thursday 24th November, 2005

try this:- decimal d = 45.52 lblNetPrice.Text = d.ToString("###,##0.00") Cheers, Craig ** I'd rather try and fail than fail to try ;) **
