Format Numbers?

[Keith]

Is there a way to trim the number of digits that are returned from a calculation? Currently the result is displayed in a label and looks like the number below:

0.733812949640288

I would like to just return 73 and then I could concatenate a % at the end.

I have tried the Trim function without any success. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi,
String formatting is probably what you are looking for, something like:

Decimal d=0.733812949640288M;
Response.Write(String.Format("{0:0.##}%",d));

Here you'll find more details:

Hi Keith,

You can use the ToString() method, and pass a numeric format string to it.
Example:

Dim s As String
Dim d As Double = 0.733812949640288
s = d.ToString("0.00")
