Numeric Text Box Formatting

[StyleGuide]

Hi All, A Text Box on a Form of mine is bound to a Numeric SQL Server field. Is there any easy way to Format the contents to : '9.00', and Not '9.0000' as it is at the moment? [I Bind in code so was thinking I could include formatting there] Thanks Jonny

Take a look at this MSDN topic covering Numeric Format Strings[^]. There may also be a way doing the formatting during data binding. I remember doing something like that on my website. But to help you specifically with that some code would be helpful.

Thanks Stefan, Heres the code : this.textBoxAmount.DataBindings.Add("Text", myBindingSource, "Amount") There is another .Add Constructor, which includes 'formatString', so perhaps I can use that? Thanks Jonny

Yes, that sounds like the one you're looking for.
