Number Format

[mtone]

I am trying to display a number with two places to right of decimal. When the number diplays it truncates the trailling zero. I want to see .50 but I see .5 after I changed my datatype in the database to decimal from float. the number shows up like 2.25000009944 can someone tell me how do I display 1.50 with the zero in the database and the UI (web form). I tried looking for formatting in help but i can seem to get it right. Thanks

Hi, I think you should look around string.Foramt() methode which can have parameter like NumberFormatInfo MSDN Or, like this example, you can use the ToString() methode :

string NumberPrettyPrint(int number){
	// Gets a NumberFormatInfo associated with the en-US culture.
	NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo( "en-US", false ).NumberFormat;
	nfi.NumberDecimalDigits = 2;

	return number.ToString("N", nfi);
}

Hope that can help
